Don't forget the Fact Checker's "code of principles" was developed by the Charles Koch Foundation-associated Poynter Institute.

Well that’s a fun fact. I’ve shat on Poynter before, too.

Are you telling me that a Russian media outlet puts out material from the point of the Russian perspective and Russian interests? And by national decree? How deceptively evil! AND RIGHT WING! Not very leftist kremlins

Their deceptive state biased media. Our noble esteemed mediaopoly.

Oh and our righteous colluding with the media to prop up far right figures as strategy.
