I will be plain with you.

"Fact Checking" is a recent phenomena included in media sources and are not worth a moments time wasting upon.

In "fact" when I see the words "fact checkers say" it's a larger than 50% chance (in my experience) that someone it intending to misinform or actually tell a barefaced lie.

There have been court cases where it's been admitted that "fact checkers" are just expressing an opinion.

Regarding the matter of courts I will be talking more about what is legal and illegal later.

Think what you like about the CCCA, but you have just confirmed to me it's most likely legitimate. Not that I was in much doubt anyway.

"Fact checkers" are recent fashion because people cannot think critically anymore. It's seems to be another lost art. In fact the government, the education authorities, and the media positively frown on anybody who thinks themselves capable of critical thought. It strictly "do what your told" and "this is the truth". I find it pathetic frankly.

20 or more years ago, people would have just laughed at the whole concept. Any news media would have quickly gone out of business insulting peoples intelligence that way.

In my humble opinion of course :-)
