Translation = factcheckers are more 8nternet bullshit

As if google is a source

Go bullshit someone else with your claims of factchecking

so much for your stupidity Annenberg Foundation is a conservative organization they made Fackcheck.org to prove liberal/democrats were lying to the people ... it backfired on them it turned out to expose conservatives to be liars ... That why you don't like it ...

FactCheck.org is a nonprofit[1] website that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics by providing original research on misinformation and hoaxes. It is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation.[2]

Kathleen Hall Jamieson's 1993 book Dirty Politics, in which she criticized the presidential campaigns of George H. W. Bush and Michael Dukakis in 1988, provided the idea for FactCheck.org.[3]

Most of its content consists of rebuttals on inaccurate, misleading, or false claims made by politicians. FactCheck.org has also targeted misinformation from various partisan groups. Other features include:

• Ask FactCheck:[4] users can ask questions that are usually based on an online rumor.
• Viral Spiral:[5] a page dedicated to the most popular online myths that the site has debunked. It clarifies the answer as well as links readers to a full article on the subject.
• Party Lines:[6] talking points that have been repeatedly used by multiple members of a political party.
• Mailbag:[7] page for readers' sent letters and praise or disapproval of something said on the site.

Here is your proof that you support liars when confronted ... you won't tell the truth

annenburg? Conservative, you are so full of bullshit, you look up something on google and come back with a google search result and think you know what the fuck you are talking about.

First and foremost, let us be clear, that factcheck.org came long after the founder of the Annenberg foundation died.
So to associate a website as being a creation of a dead man is pure stupidity on your part.

Conservative? The Annenberg Foundation, because it's long ago dead creator worked for Richard Nixon? That makes everything he did, Conservative? Of course you do not mention Nixon so there is no doubt you did not search that far.

The Annenberg gives millions of dollars to PLANNED PARENTHOOD!

Conservatives fund Planned Parenthood? Of course they do, when you make a claim out of ignorance.

My google searches destroy yours, the reason being is because I have enough knowledge to search for the truth whereas you are simply trying to confirm you political biased opinion formed from propaganda.

Conservatives fund Planned Parenthood, you are about as dumb as they get, billyROCK

factcheck is biased democrat propaganda

 

[elektra]

so much for your stupidity Annenberg Foundation is a conservative organization they made Fackcheck.org to prove liberal/democrats were lying to the people ... it backfired on them it turned out to expose conservatives to be liars ... That why you don't like it ...

Annenberg donates to;

Planned Parenthood, conservatives do not fund abortion, do they?
ACLU, nothing more democrat than the ACLU, conservatives fund the ACLU now?
Jewish Voice for Peace, is pro-palestinian, calls for a ceasefire in GAZA, a conservative position?
NAACP, another conservative organization, no, hahahahahahahah
Democracy Now, that is about as far away from conservative as you can get

I can go down the entire list and it is all left wing democrat wackos.

Stupidity, yes billyROCK, pure stupidity

 

[elektra]

take it you didn't watch the hearings on C-pan ... the IRS agent got his head handed to him..who kept saying he was there ... yet he just couldn't come up with any proof in any of the accusations they were trying to prove ... he was under oath so he had to tell the truth so he kept dodging the question making him look like a fool ...

all I am hearing from you is crickets,

What were the questions asked, what was the answer, where is the link to and the quotes from the Transcript

or does billydaROCK just makes things up based on an opinion formed listening to propaganda

plenty of time to respond, hell you responded twice already, forgetting about this post or do you have nothing to support you ill-formed opinion

 

[elektra]

... that's your problem, not mine ... the reason you don't like fact-checkers is they prove your accusations here to be made up and that pisses you guys off

Oh, I am sorry, I stated Biden was caught with classified documents he illegally took as a Senator. You now claim that I am wrong because factcheckers say so?

Where is the quote from factcheckers?
Where is the link stating that Democrat Senator Biden did not steal the boxes of classified documents
Where is the quote saying the writer of the Biden Biography was lying when the writer said that Biden said that he kept classified documents.

so much dismissed by billydaROCK, with one word, factchecker

hahahahahahahahahahaha, google searches and links are now considered the only evidence that is credible. Not people testifying under oath, the factchecker, who used the New York Times and their own google searches, as sources.

in your statement, you said he took classified documents and that I said Fact check .org said he didn't never said that never brought it up .that they said he didn't... stop putting words into my post that I never said that

nowhere in any document on factcheck.org does it say Biden stole any documents you did... you said he stole them ... you need to read what they said and what was written... none of it is a lie none of it said he stole them ... only your choice of words... i will take factcheck.org words over any bullshit thing you have to say yours is all biased wording...

we were supported entirely by three sources: funds from the Annenberg Public Policy Center’s own resources (specifically an endowment created in 1993 by the Annenberg Foundation at the direction of the late Walter Annenberg, and a 1995 grant by the Annenberg Foundation to fund APPC’s Washington, D.C., base); additional funds from the Annenberg Foundation; and grants from the Flora Family Foundation.


We currently receive support from the APPC endowment, which includes funding from the Annenberg Foundation and from the Annenberg School for Communication Trust at the University of Pennsylvania.


In 2010, we began accepting donations from individual members of the public for the first time, responding to many unsolicited offers of support from our subscribers. We launched our first public appeal for donations in April 2010.


At that time we also decided to disclose our finances in greater detail, so that our readers may judge for themselves whether or not any of those individual donations could influence us.

Jack smith is currently filing to have the judge over classified documents trial having her removed and put a different judge in . then trump is fucked

Jack Smith is a loser attorney that does nothing but political hit jobs.

Remember when he prosecuted Edwards, won, but everything got thrown out by the supreme court.

Of course you dont. You post as if you are a bigot. Repeating propaganda that you hear,

FBI is not corrupt? Hahahaha

With the Republican convention being held in July, I believe the Democrats' best strategy a month later would be for Biden to bow out for health reasons and nominate their real candidate a month later at their convention. We haven't had any worth-while drama at these conventions since the Democrats silliness back in 1972.

The problem with that sneaky move is between the late announcement of a candidate and early voting, there are only a few weeks for Trump to develop and launch a campaign against his opponent - while the Dems have been battling against Trump for years.

If they announce their candidate in August, there should be no early voting. At least give Trump two lousy months to campaign against Gavin, or Michelle, or Kamala!

That's just it. It wouldn't be the Democrats' problem. Plus any money that the Republicans already spent developing, preparing, or airing negative ads against Biden would be mostly money down the drain.

Dirty, dirty, Dems. This is probably their plan. So which disaster would they slide in?

-Kamala, who is totally unqualified and incompetent
-Michelle, who hates America and is more anti-white than her husband
- Gavin, who will Californize every state in the nation
