    What a bunch of cowards.

    They clearly are afraid of doing one too many fact checking and offending one of Trump’s minions.

    I never knew Google had a fact checking service.
    But i can recommend a alternative Media Bias Fact Check Also has a browser extension for Chromium/Chrome and Firefox

      Mbfc is just one dude’s opinion. Also he calls the associated press and CNN leftist news outlets. It’s quite stupid.

    Remember when that useless bot was around here, objectively wrong, and getting downvoted all the time? Good times.
