I guess this will be the norm for news stories that put liberals in a questionable light.

From Twitter...

Pfizer CEO’s wife is alive and she did not experience COVID-19 vaccine complications, fact-checkers say


It will be about what the fact checkers say... not what actually happened.

I think in the past, it was informally the mainstream media... NYT, WaPo, ABC, NBC, etc... that were the defacto standards of truth... until we found out they weren't. Now they have created another layer.

--------------------------------

FYI - This is the account of the story that the fact checkers are debunking.

Wife of Pfizer’s CEO dies after complications from the vaccine

The website is the Conservative Beaver.

I would not be surprised if websites like this are fake sites that liberals are running in order to create this mis-information "crisis".

Why are you trying to blame liberals for misinformation presented on an obviously conservative web site? You are just making that up.

You have no idea if the people that are running that conservative website are conservative. They could just be participating in propaganda.

Don't think that this kind of stuff happens?

Perhaps you'll want to brush up on Operation Mockingbird.

The Ministry of Truth


“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'”


“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.

Fact checkers are businesses that are selling advertising by checking the statements, memes, written, and spoken words and stories that are constantly circulating on the web, our media, and social spots.

They are paid by having people show up to their websites. They can mostly be non-partisan companies, but with any "journalistic" company, you tend to have a lot of young idealists.
They're being funded by DARPA money and think tanks setup as Federal contractors. These talking points are disseminated to these orgs. Their purpose is not to fact check but spread propaganda.

It's not difficult to do.

If liberals can create fake race riots, and fake hate groups w/ FBI informants, then I don't put anything past them to do in order to create a fake crisis.
