Glenn Kessler is out as The Washington Post’s “fact checker,” but he threw one final bone to his comrades in the “fake news” trenches before departing. …
… And was widely mocked for his parting shot under the Democracy-is-in-trouble-without-me title “The Fact Checker rose in an era of false claims. Falsehoods are now winning.”
Warren Squire on Twitchy.com noted: “While Kessler impotently pounds his chest about the importance of ‘fact-checkers,’ commenters made sure to remind him of all the lies he and his fellow hacks pushed on the public.”
Most of the comments were negative and sarcastic:
- “I forget – was the Hunter laptop real or was it Russian disinformation?”
- “Congrats on yet another humiliation dude!”
- “One last lie for the road. Consistent.”
