The Washington Post has discontinued its presidential fact-check database — which was launched during former President Donald Trump’s tenure — after only 100 days into President Joe Biden’s term.
In a tweet thread Monday, fact-check editor Glenn Kessler announced that while he and his team will continue to “rigorously” fact-check Biden, they will no longer maintain a database like they did under Trump.
Kessler cited the overwhelming workload as the reason for the change, even while noting that monitoring Biden’s statements has proven to be less work.
“Here’s the Biden database — which we do not plan to extend beyond 100 days,” Kessler tweeted. “I have learned my lesson.”
“‘Learned my lesson’ means that who knows what the next four years will bring. We have fact-checked Biden rigorously and will continue to do so. Trump at 500 claims/100 days was manageable; 8,000+ was not,” he added.
Bunch of sissy pants.
Insert the Compost’s masthead slogan here….”Democracy Dies in Darkness”. Finally something accurate in Bezos’ rag.
Two points: They might lack data storage and staff sufficient to track, organize and print the lies, gaffes, oversights and omissions directly issuing from the Resident, let alone his spokespiece or other lackeys. More whoppers than a burger chain! Second, if any of the soak-the-rich BS spouted last night seriously threatens a nickel of profit of the Compost’s owner they’ll be back chronicling the lies.
In the meantime his job is safe and he can go back to reading the comics in the NYT!
Hitler -Style Propaganda & Controlled Press !!!!!
There is no truth to anything Biden says so no need to fact check it
Covering for the Democrats is the New Fact Check Method !!!!!
OF COURSE THEY DID. THEY OR ANY TABLOIDS LIKE THEIRS AND NEW YORK TIMES WITH ALL MAIN STREAM MEDIA WANT THE PEOPLE TO KNOW THEY ARE BEING LIED TO DAILY BY BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS. I STILL SAY BIDEN IS NOT RUNNING THIS COUNTRY.
Gerbbles would be proud of America’s Democrats !!!!!
