New York Times Deploying 29 Fact-Checkers For Trump-Biden Debate

The New York Times will be deploying 29 fact-checkers to CNN’s debate between President Biden and former President Trump on Thursday. You read that correctly. 29.

The fact-checkers will join an additional 31 reporters and editorial staff the Times will be using to cover the landmark debate, the paper revealed Monday.

The editorial resources they’ll be dedicating to keep the candidates honest is larger than an entire Major League Baseball roster.

Given that outsized number, one might assume it would be wise to split them up evenly, 15 for Trump, 14 for Biden, right?

But … c’mon folks. Do we really think all 29 of them will be impartial? Sure, maybe a few will call balls and strikes. But given the paper’s history with so-called fact-checks, I’m not gonna hold my breath.

29 of them will be assigned to "fact-checking" Trump.

Keep in mind that it took Snopes seven years to finally admit that Donald Trump was not talking about neo-Nazis when he used the phrase “very fine people”


I expect people people running for office to twist the truth at times

But we should be able to  rely on these fact checkers to be impartial.

But I will withhold judgment until I see how they handle what both these men say in the debate. If it gets to be where they’re just calling out  Donald Trump, that’s a problem

Would any of them know a 'fact' if they fell on it, or will they just make them up as they go along?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

New York Times Deploying 29 Fact-Checkers...

And a thousand telephones that don’t ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?"
And Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute, son"
And he said, "Yes, I think it can be easily done!
Just take everything down to Highway 61"

You know it's bad when even CNN is fact checking Joe Biden.
