"Media outlets bent over backwards Tuesday night to fact check President Trump's State of the Union address -- but were accused of reaching with a string a rapid-response tweets and other analysis that came off as nitpicking."
Politico:
'NUH-UH. Trump LIED. It's only 31%...not 1-in-3 (33%)!
NPR:
Trump Lied / attempted to deceive America when he praised the accomplishments of women by praising the record number of women in Congress...because he failed to point out that most of those women are Democrats!
“God Almighty this is embarrassing, even for the sad annals of fact-checking,” said Free Beacon managing editor David Rutz.
"Much as politically driven journalism has damaged the credibility of mainstream news media, so too politicized 'fact checking' is destroying the credibility of the fact-checking industry. In the age of Trump, 'fact-checking' too often is just a mask for political attacks," Cornell Law School professor William A. Jacobson added.
"The ‘fact-checkers’, Hell-bent to prove Trump wrong, have become just another tool of advocacy journalism."
Oy-vey!
