"The danger in that is, once you go down that slope, unless you're going to fact-check everything everybody says -- and Lord knows, are there things the president says that aren't true? Yes," Wallace said. "Are there things that Joe Biden says and Democrats say that aren't true? Yes. So if you're going to fact check the president, are you going to fact check Joe Biden? If you're going to fact check, you know, some Republican congressman, are you going to fact check a Democratic congressman? And so it becomes a very dangerous thing."
"[If] you don't fact check everybody, then people are going to see bias," Wallace went on, adding that Twitter was running the risk of "becoming a third party in the ring" during a contentious election year and "may regret it."
"I'm in the truth business," Wallace said later in the podcast, "and I'd be perfectly happy if everything politicians said is fact-checked and everything I say is fact-checked. That's fine.
"But you can't do it. You just can't. And there's always going to be some bias in what you decide is so false, that needs to be fact-checked. And that just lends itself to the argument that there's political bias, political favoritism in what you call out and what you don't."
This transcends who is in the White House at the time. Obama loved to use FAUX News as a punching bag. Hillary had the vast right wing conspiracy. Everybody does it POTD

The Throbber doesn't need Jack Dorsey and his lackeys determining what is and isn't bullshit. Let the public decide on their own
If not, The Throbber assumes Jack DorseyFS will also be censoring AOC's bullshit, too.
