Lies don't matter to leftists!-----The last vestiges of fact-checker integrity
The last vestiges of fact-checker integrity - Tom Knighton
"So-called fact-checkers have shown their bias for a while now.
Here’s the thing about the stealth-edit, though.
"So-called fact-checkers have shown their bias for a while now.
- Politifact, for example, will call criticism of President Biden’s actual words false based on what the president meant, for example, while affording Republicans no such benefit.
...Yet there was still a hope that eventually, a sense of integrity would surface and they’d knock it off.
They brutally murdered that sense of integrity with this stunt."But recently Politifact, a Facebook-approved partner in so-called “fact-checking,” went to even more desperate lengths to protect a Democrat from legitimate criticism by way of using their vast power to slap a “missing context” label on some stories shared to Facebook that were critical of Politifact’s May 24th “fact check” of a tweet from Georgia’s attorney general that claimed Stacey Abrams supported Major League Baseball moving the All-Star game out of Georgia last year after the state’s election reform bill was signed into law. Politifact labeled the claim “false,” but our sister site Twitchy was among several that noted in their write-ups about it that Politifact left out the fact that the USA Today editorial Abrams wrote that they cited as “evidence” was actually stealth-edited after publication and after MLB made their decision in what some suggested was a deliberate editorial move designed to soften Abrams’ stance on boycotts in order to make her seem less supportive of them.
Here’s the thing about the stealth-edit, though.
Everyone knew it had been edited.
USA Today was blasted for the edit.
There are numerous news reports with evidence that the edits happened..."

Over 97% of mass shootings occurred on gun-free zones, research shows - TheBlaze
Over 97% of mass shootings occurred on gun-free zones, research shows - TheBlaze"On the heels of the shooting in Fort Lauderdale that took the lives of five people, a new report has surfaced with some breathtaking statistics about where mass shootings take place.
- According to the Crime Prevention Research Center, from the 1950's through June 15th of 2018, 97.8 percent of mass shootings have occurred on gun-free zones, with just 2.2 percent occurring where citizens are allowed to have firearms with them....
The FBI definition of mass public shootings excludes “shootings that resulted from gang or drug violence" or that were part of some other crime.
...Using the data from 1950 through February 2016 has three mass public shootings in places where general citizens are allowed to have guns — that is just over 1 percent of the shootings over that period.

Right, reduce the "stigma". That'll work great.-----In Michigan’s opioid crisis, deaths are the problem – not stigma
In Michigan’s opioid crisis, deaths are the problem – not stigma By James David Dickson
- Why deal with the problem when you can change the conversation?
And it’s getting worse.
But to hear Michigan’s public health officials tell it, stigma is a fate worse than death.
In November 2019, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced a $1 million ad campaign designed to “change the conversation” about opioid addiction. I’m sorry — “substance use disorder.”

- “With increased medical understanding and the 17-times increase in opioid overdose deaths since 1999, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is working to address the stigmas associated with opioid use so that residents will be better supported and directed to treatment,” read the announcement for the ad campaign.
