Which is more likely:

a) ALL fact-checking sites are wrong about a network fined for bias in the UK
b) Fox News is wrong since all fact-checking sites refute them

Put it this way: a doctor offering you pills says "ignore those other doctors, they're all wrong." Do you swallow the pills that every other doctor says you shouldn't?

Your problem here, Mott, to be perfectly frank and sincere for once, is that you’re far too US-centric.

Fact checking happens all over the world. Even the BBC has experts fact-checking; as with most other countries.

And all these fact checkers, who interview experts and research statements, generally all come to roughly the same conclusions.

And Fox news does not fair well.

So, either it’s a global liberal conspiracy… or Fox news, trump and extreme right-wing media in the US are lying.

What do you think is more likely?

Given the Republican penchant for lying their asses off, the Democrats are comparatively as pure as the driven snow.

We know that's not entirely true, but watching the Right lie every time they open their mouths, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in ANYthing they say.

I gave you proof of a factchecking site being untruthful...you accuse conservatives of being untruthful but dont cite anything in particular, do you realize how incapable that appears?

Can you cite what you are referring to?

No you didn't. You just posted a link without making any points. That's not "proof".

Trump, and his slavish followers. Now that he's not in office and we don't hear his stupid BS every day, his followers have taken up the slack. Is that specific enough for you?
