I'm not concerned about the exact verbiage used when pointing out the lies, personally.

The media's handling of Biden's fact checked lies reminds me of this quote from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy:


“Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything.”
“But the plans were on display …”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.”

of course not.

The president commented on the January 6 riots during a speech in Superior, Wisconsin:
They will just alter transcripts so that he "never said that".

Cool.

So a fact check of Joe that rates his statement "false" is irrelevant unless it uses that exact phrase, because.....?
