Are Republicans getting fact checked too? Or it is just Biden and Dem related accounts since Musk took over.

That's such a dumb thing to tweet though. Trying to spin something you had nothing to do with, and is happening for a bad reason, into a positive for yourself is moronic.

Doesn't matter. Republicans don't care about facts.

Not for nothing, but Fox News isn't the President.

Trump was fact checked so much on Twitter that they kicked him off.

Biden should be held over the same flame, no?

Pretty funny, but so long as both sides are equally held accountable.

I don't know if thats thats the case or not.
Any crazy stuff Republican people posting that aren't being fact checked?

I stay out of twitter unless i get directed to it from here.

They're still spreading tons and tons of information and have a comparable reach on social media.

Plus, Elon himself is spreading misinformation about the Pelosi attack.

If you are masquerading as a news organization to all of your followers, then yes, you should be fact checked.

If Elongated Muskrat is only having Twitter put these fact check messages on the tweets of Democrat politicians, then that's just pathetic.

Interesting. I know the courts concluded that those accounts couldn't block people because it restricts access to tweets, but I couldn't remember where things fell in terms of outright deleting them.

If it's like other government records, the tweet has to be archived, but that's not the same as it needing to continue to be available on Twitter itself.

they are, but twitter is going over and above to zero-in on leftists to try to "make up for lost time" and "balance it out, retroactively".

Fact-checking one side but allowing the other to spread lies is a very bad approach to take. It was bad when the left did it a few years back; it's bad when the right does it now.

With that being said, such an approach does not inherently invalidate those fact-checks, either. A lie is still a lie; that doesn't change just because no effort is being made to expose someone else's lies. Ideally though, everyone in a significant position of power and/or influence would be getting fact-checked, so that all lies from such sources get exposed, rather than only the ones from the side the people doing the fact-checking don't like.

I wasnt being sarcastic with saying Republicans twist facts in a worse way, I was however being sarcastic in saying this isnt fair to Biden. Republicans being far worse pieces of shit and not getting equally called out for it doesnt make it unfair to point out blatant bullshit like this the Dems try to pull, especially when they control the executive branch of government.
