You're viewing a single thread.
In addition to the explanations already posited, I’d also think there most likely are some people who want to lie, argue disingenuously, and a fact-checker tends to get in the way of their rhetoric.
Can you give an example of someone who ever posted something disingenuous that MediaBiasFactCheck got in the way of?
No I cannot give you an example. I was postulating that it could be a demographic that hates the bot. I don’t think an example cited is necessary to consider this a possible contributor. Relax.
This comment has big "Haitians are eating cats" energy.
I don't have any proof, but just think about it, man!
Big if true.
No it's more like "It's possible that Haitians could be eating cats" energy.
Which, when presented without a shed of evidence, is equally dangerous (as these last few weeks have very clearly demonstrated).
Counterpoint: "Fact checkers" with an institutional bias are an excellent way to cover for lies promoted by those institutions
