BOZELL & GRAHAM: ‘Fact-Checkers’ Find Democrats Are Truth Tellers

L. Brent Bozell III

One reason many Americans don’t trust those “fact-checker” websites is because to know them is to see right through their incessantly liberal worldview. These impartial arbiters of truth routinely defend Democrats as being “Mostly True” on everything while savaging Republicans as just the opposite. It’s not just Donald Trump, mind you. It’s Ted Cruz. And Rick Santorum. And Newt Gingrich. And pretty much anyone who challenges liberal orthodoxy.

So it was maddening that NBC News put its “fact-checker” Jane Timm on the first Democrat debate, who then proclaimed on the “NBC News Now” livestream, “It was a pretty clean debate.” No errors? Timm proceeded to support Julian Castro for tying the “tragic death of that father and daughter to Trump’s own immigration policies.” She added, “And we checked that. It is true!”
