I'm curious. So many people are making so many claims. On both sides of the political spectrum.

What do you use to perform fact-checking?

I use a variety of sources and have absolutely no respect for the people who use only one or two.

Generally speaking, I think a close to primary sources is the best thing for you. Watch a video of a Clinton speech, first hand documents (like from Wikileaks or public record), and of course political philosophers as I find arguing principle to be more interesting and meaningful than arguing if Donald actually said that about vaginas or whatever.

I am a modern Internet commenter on political affairs.

WTF is "fact checking"?
