Why has fact-checking disappeared under Biden?

Fact-checking under President Trump was a bustling business. Seemingly every day, and sometimes by the hour, the 45th president’s every word was scrutinized, which all comes with the job.
But under President Biden, fact checkers are enjoying what feels like extended vacations or have simply checked out in terms of scrutinizing the many ways that he is misleading the public.
Take CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale as a prime example of apathy around holding the current president accountable.
From June 2019 until November 2020, Dale appeared or was mentioned on CNN more than once per day, on average, according to Mediaite. Estimating conservatively,

Last week, Biden claimed the Inflation Reduction Act, which numerous studies have concluded will do almost nothing to reduce inflation, had already “helped reduce inflation at the kitchen table.” In a related story, food prices rose again in August, with the Consumer Price Index up 10.6 percent year-over-year.
There are many other examples from the summer, but you get the point: The most powerful man in the country needs to be held accountable for his words and actions, particularly in an election year, when each side is attempting to shape the narrative through the press. But fact-checkers at mainstream outlets refuse to do it.

The midterm elections are 50 days from now. The balance of power in Washington hangs in the balance. More than ever, words matter.
Lies and half-truths must be called out. It shouldn’t matter if a Republican or Democrat occupies the Oval Office. Fact-checkers must hold lawmakers and other public officials accountable without favor to party.
But apparently fact-checkers are mostly on a four-year sabbatical at this point. And it’s pathetic.
Commentary:
The biased Quisling media only fact check Republicans/conservatives.
Remember how the Associated Press, hired 11 fact checkers, to pore over Sarah Palin’s book? Everything said by any Republican/conservative will be dissected and parsed.
Similar to the corruption of the DoJ and FBI, the bought and paid for fact checkers were ordered by the Biden regime to report only what comes out of this administration- American people with any sense of logic know it is all lies.
“Fact checking” is a form of disagreement with the speaker/writer, rising to the level of opposition. The prior crop of fact-checkers don't feel the need to point out the shortcomings in the current Administration, because they were so infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome that the election of Biden was on the level of “it's a miracle, it no longer hurts!”
