How sleazy are the fact checkers?
At USA Today the SLEAZY leftist fact checkers changed their rating of the Gold Star Fathers.
At First they decided to ATTACK Gold Star Fathers who lost their sons in the attack in Kabul.
It takes a SPECIAL KIND of Sleazebucket to attack the assertions of Gold Star families and say their assertions are "partly FALSE" as USA Today initially did.
Then when they were caught being WRONG about the Gold Star Family Fathers, they didn't change their rating to "TRUE", the sleazebucket factchecker at USA Today, rated the claims by GoldStar fathers as "Missing Context".
From the article:
As NewsBusters reported earlier this week, Gold Star fathers of two of the Marines killing at the Kabul airport during the Afghanistan evacuation spoke out against President Biden in outrage of him disrespecting their sons and looking at his watch during the dignified transfer.
Well, on Wednesday, a Biden sycophant at USA Today named Daniel Funke decided he was going to try to drag those grieving families through the mud with a so-called “fact-check” about their story, but he was forced to retract his smear the very next day after it was proven false. “New fact check: A viral photo makes it look like President Biden checked his watch during a ceremony honoring U.S. service members killed in Kabul.
But that's misleading,” Funke proclaimed in a tweet. Adding in another: “The way Biden honored the 11 caskets presented at Dover Air Force Base on Sunday was similar to how Trump paid respects to fallen service members during his presidency[.]” He would also claim that the only time Biden checked his watch was AFTER the ceremony and never during it. “Footage from the 45-minute ceremony shows Biden bowing his head and placing his hand over his heart as 11 caskets are carried off a plane and into gray vans,” he wrote in the supposed fact-check. “A video from C-SPAN shows Biden checking his watch once, near the end of the dignified transfer ceremony.”

That is what the Sleazebucket factchecker at USA Today, stated about the Gold Star fathers whose sons were killed under Biden's watch.
He called the claims of the Gold Star fathers "Misleading".
He tried to SMEAR them.
Of course the sleazebucket factchecker was proven wrong, since Biden checked his watch over and over during the sacred ceremony, because Biden is a callous piece of crap.
Then the sleazebucket Factchecker Daniel Funke, a piece of garbage, trying to smear the claims of the Gold star fathers, was FORCED to change his rating the very next day.
His initial designation was that the claims Biden had disrespectfully looked at his watch multiple times were “partly false.” But yet, the next day, USA Today was forced to issue a correction in the face of overwhelming evidence they were lying. Of course, they only issued a half-hearted revision, suggesting the claims were “missing context”: Corrections & Clarifications: This story was updated Sept. 2 to note that Biden checked his watch multiple times at the dignified transfer event, including during the ceremony itself. The rating on this claim has been changed from partly false to missing context.
And instead of having the human decency to just say that the Gold Star fathers's claims were "TRUE", he returned back under his rock and changed his rating to "Missing Context".
Talk about leftist dirtbag actions. This sleazebucket Daniel Funke deserves the Gold Star for being a piece of shit.
Now my thought is that this would be something that a certain leftist here would do, but not an honest fact checker.
This just cements the thought that these fact checkers are just as biased as we've always thought them to be.
Richard for Biden to look at his watch like that is such a bad thing to do at a time like that, it is like he was in a hurry and did not care one bit about these brave American Soldiers! End of story!
