Fun with Fact-checkers...

I laughed when someone here used an online "factcheck" to "prove" something, only to read the actual fact-checking and discover all their actual proof was before the incident in question thereby reinforcing the idea of fraud...

But on top of that, it reinforced the notion of how enamored with one's own false intellect these people have to be to think that they should be considered the online "factchecker" to begin with, whether it be FactCheck.org, Punditfact, or even the nutjobs at Media Matters. Case in point is the latest between the Federalist and "PunditFact", on how sheer statement of facts that the writer of Punditfact admits are "clearly accurate and "technically true" still get a rating from them of "Mostly False" because, well, the factchecker didn't want to admit the truth.
