Fact-Checkers For The "Fact-Checkers"

By Mike Huckabee

The “fact-checkers” who challenged every word out of President Trump’s mouth are feeling almost as unemployed as pipeline workers now that Joe Biden is in office. Some, like the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler, have as much as admitted they won’t even be monitoring Biden because if anyone has a reputation for always telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but, it’s Joe “Plagiarist” Biden.

They’re so desperate for something to nitpick that Kessler tried nit-picking a fight with Sen. Ted Cruz, challenging his claim that Biden’s killing of the Keystone Pipeline will kill 11,000 union jobs. Kessler gave him “Two Pinocchios,” and tut-tutted that AC-shully, those jobs were only temporary jobs. Cruz fired back, “ALL construction jobs are temporary. Presidents still shouldn’t destroy them.’’

I guess at WaPo, they believe that some construction workers finish building a project, then just keep on building it for all eternity.

But as Brad Slager at Townhall.com points out at this link, Kessler contradicted himself, since in a previous “fact-check” years ago, he claimed the number of jobs Keystone would create was being overstated, and it would only create about 16,000 jobs. Now, he seems to be claiming that the jobs he said would be created aren’t real jobs at all.

How many times do I have to keep saying this? We need fact-checkers for our “fact-checkers.”

Suckers and losers

Sep 5, 2024
We had a letter from a reader, asking what to say to friends who still believe the “suckers and losers” hoax. So to help that reader and anyone else who missed the previous explanations, here’s the story:

    These days, there is practically no such thing as a "permanent job". There is full-time employment or part-time employment until one is laid off or fired (for any reason or no reason in my contract). Rarely does anyone keep a full-time job until retirement.
    In any case, the Biden administration is killing our America, one cut at a time.

    To me, so-called Fact-Checker's are a form of Cancel-Culture and allows social media to hide behind their leftist views; the inability of the reader to identify confront their accusers is downright dangerous, and if platforms like Facebook use Fact-Checker's they should be required to identify them.

    It well known fact the liberal media has such low hiring standards that they employ any idiot that comes along ..... A business composed of fools, is run by fools that produces nothing but foolish FALSE facts, and read by the most ignorant fools ever to breathe air!

    Still waiting for updates on known, reported flaws in fact checks on Hunter Biden. Still waiting on cross checks from CSPAN on Los Biden's known truthful ways.
