Checking the ‘Fact-Checkers’

Indoctrinating the kiddies…

Trusting in the truthfulness of an Associated Press “fact check” is like trusting in a robo-call that offers you three wishes.

Earlier this week, the Norwin, Pennsylvania, school board voted to repeal a policy that they’d had for a few years: the mandatory showing of CNN in middle-school classrooms during home room period. CNN, which has lost 90% of its viewership this year, is well-known as a Far Left purveyor of totally fake nooze. It also has a lot of–let’s call them “morally dubious characters” and let it go at that–working there.

Anyhow, before the board meeting, CNN had to be shown–had to!–in middle school home rooms. Now, after the board meeting, it won’t be. It’ll only be shown if the teacher or the school administration really want it on any given day.

Ah! But according to the AP “fact-checker,” what you’ve just read is all wet (https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-560175821478).

See how these weasels use language. We quote: “No board members expressed dissent [from the measure to stop the mandatory showing of CNN], and the board approved the motion with a 5-4 vote.”

Eh? Do these chowderheads know what ordinary English words mean? If there was “no dissent,” the vote would have been 9-0! But AP jidrools are too busy patting each other on the back for canceling out “misinformation”–that’s what they call it when the facts don’t match their BS left-wing “narrative”–to open up a dictionary.

The showing of CNN “news” is no longer mandatory in the classroom. No matter how they spin it, they can’t get around that.

P.S.–When I was substitute teaching in the 1990s, all the classrooms had closed circuit TV; and much of what was shown… should not have been shown.

Public school is not a safe place for any child’s mind–let alone his soul.
