Fact checking the fact checkers

I remember when fact checkers were credible. When you wanted and expected that fact checking had been done on articles you read.
But in recent years fact checkers have themselves become part of the partisan media, always, I think, on the side of the left.
The reaction was so swift it revealed America's gatekeepers of information don't merely have a liberal bent, they're the Democratic Party's rapid-response unit. Their involvement goes beyond lazily pushing out the Biden administration's view of things or tossing soft-ball questions to that frazzled nincompoop of a press secretary — they put out fires for them. They are an integral part of maintaining a certain public image for the Donkey Party.
