by some independent entity. Can you imagine an actual, objective fact-checker in the form of AI at any of those news sources? It would wreak havoc. "No, only a small percentage of January 6th protesters engaged in violence, and most of those trespassing were waved in by police." "No, education funding is not being cut. It is going up." "No, Trump wasn't charged with 34 crimes." "No, Trump is not a convicted sex offender." "No, unarmed black suspects are not being shot by police in any substantial numbers." "No, women are not paid less than men for the same job when relevant variables are controlled." "No, violence in the name of Christianity does not bear any comparison to violence committed in the name of Muhammad or Islam." "No, a loving home does not overcome the massive disparities caused by single-parent of same-sex parent households compared to traditional, two-parent families."
