Sounds like TC is upset that his real news sources like Breitbart, LibertyTruth, or the fine folks at PatriotView or Infowars aren't included on the list.

Can we just be mad that their news sources lack impartiality and objectivity?

Maybe if the sources you folks use would stop making things up or printing lies, then they wouldn't be filtered.

Only one of these I have an issue with is CNN. It made a deal with the devil to veer into garbage clickbait to boost ad revenue, and it no longer has any business being considered an impartial news site after the blatant race baiting it did with Trayvon and Ferguson. That should have been the end of CNN for good.

I know snopes does Fact Checking, but aren't CCN, NYT, and Washington Post just normal new sites and not fact checkers? Not to mention all three being free lead to the issue of posting click bait stuff to earn revenue. And a lot of time with click bait, all the facts are not being presented leading to something that isn't completely true.

Kind of weird choices to pick for fact checkers.

Wait you do know cnn.com.de is actually fake, right?

As in like it uses the CNN name, but is a parody/scam/prank site? Like, this is months old.

My point on snopes vs the others was that it actually does fact checking compared to the others that mainly report news. It seems odd to be using news sites as fact checkers especially when they are known to not display all the facts.

For CNN and Washington Post, they have listed "CNN Reality Check" and "The Washington Post Fact Checker", which I'm assuming are just specific sections on their websites dedicated to "fact checking". Curiously, the listing for New York Times is just "New York Times".

Trump: "Our democracy is rigged!"

Media: "There is no evidence that our elections are rigged."

Liberal Media "fact checking" after the election

Trump: "Putin didn't help me win the election."

Media: "We know for 100% fact that Russia rigged the election because... reasons."
