Fact checkers contribute to Democrats and liberal groups, with Bernie Sanders receiving the most money, contradicting claims of neutrality from top fact-checking operations.
via freebeacon:
Nearly 100 percent of political donations from self-identified fact checkers—including those whose employers claim journalistic neutrality—go to Democrats, a Washington Free Beacon analysis of federal campaign finance disclosures found.
The Free Beacon reviewed political donations over the past four election cycles from those who identified their occupation as “fact checker.” $22,580 of the $22,683 in political donations that came from self-identified fact checkers during that time—a whopping 99.5 percent—went to Democrats and liberal groups. Only three of the fact checker donations made during that period went to Republicans. Top recipients include socialist Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, who during the seven-year period received ten times more fact checker money than every Republican combined.
The findings contradict claims of neutrality from top fact-checking operations. Fact checkers for the New York Times and Reuters, for example, contributed to President Joe Biden, failed South Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Jaime Harrison, and liberal Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign. The Times fact checker, Cecilia Nowell, contributed three times to Warren’s failed presidential bid from 2019 to 2020 and still accepts “fact-checking assignments” from the outlet on a freelance basis, according to her LinkedIn. Reuters, meanwhile, from 2020 to 2021 employed Carrie Monahan, daughter of veteran journalist Katie Couric, as a “fact check producer.” Monahan during that time contributed to Biden, Harrison, and Georgia Democratic senator Jon Ossoff.
The Playbook Is Always the Same for Most of the Media and Other Democrats
They target political opponents they want to destroy, whether it is Sarah Palin, Justice Kavanaugh, Justice Thomas, Ron DeSantis, or Donald Trump. They relentlessly set out to destroy them, whatever they have to do. They will even create fictitious stories like Russian collusion, without evidence, and then repeat the fake stories for years and have endless investigations based on nothing. Destroying the target in the minds of the public is all they care about because their goal is to maintain power and infect the country with radical leftist policies to expand government power and control of the people.
It also helps tremendously when so many government bureaucrats seek to destroy the same people. The endless investigations and criminal proceedings have nothing to do with applying laws equally. Instead, they weaponize the Justice Department, or IRS, or DHS, or CFPB, or EPA to destroy people whose policies they don’t like.
The truth is irrelevant when they set out to destroy someone.
If you want to see where the playbook comes from, look at Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

The Censorship Industrial Complex consists of dozens of rich and powerful governmental and nongovernmental organizations around the world. That's the bad news. The good news is that Matt Taibbi, Russell Brand, and I are going to take it down. Here's how. pic.twitter.com/4H3rdtKNtm
