Washington Post to end presidential fact check database

The Washington Post’s “fact checker” will discontinue the Biden fact checker database. He claims that Trump generated “falsehoods” where Biden has returned things to “normalcy”. This action speaks volumes regarding media bias. Readers for this website understand the real reason for this move.

From Newsmax:

“Here’s the Biden database — which we do not plan to extend beyond 100 days. I have learned my lesson,” Kessler tweeted.

The paper had kept a database throughout the entirety of former President Donald Trump’s time in office. Kessler also wrote a column announcing the newspaper would no longer hold to its fact-checking rigor because things had returned to “normal.”

“After four years of a presidency that swamped Americans with a gusher of false and misleading claims, the Joe Biden era has offered a return to a more typical pattern when it comes to a commander in chief and his relationship with the facts — one that features frequent spin and obfuscation or exaggeration, with the occasional canard,” wrote The Post.

The paper will, however, keep fact-checking Biden, just without a database, Kessler explained on Twitter.
