This won’t be news to most of you, but the so-called “fact checkers” can’t be trusted.
However, recently Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) exposed the profit motive of one of the projects of factcheck.org, that being the COVID-19 Vaccination Project which purports to be some independent “fact checkers” exposing false claims on the experimental vaccines.
Who funds that “independent” project? Well, it’s the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation which holds $1.9 billion in Johnson & Johnson stock. Oh, and it’s CEO is Richard Besser, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) under President Barack Obama.
On an aside, the revolving door between regulators and corporations is an ongoing bipartisan problem. Scott Gottlieb, who was President Donald Trump’s Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, is now a director for Pfizer.
In an April 24 tweet by Massie, he starts with: “NOTHING TO SEE HERE.”
“Former director of CDC is now CEO of the foundation that funds FACTCHECK. org’s vaccine fact-checking program. Roughly 15% of said foundation’s assets are J&J stock…. Bless your heart if you think fact-check .org is an unbiased source of vaccine information,” Massie’s tweet continued.
For that tweet, the COVID-19 Vaccination Project produced a hit piece on Massie but admits, as Massie noted in another tweet, that everything he stated was true. But what the project would like you to believe is that “the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has no control over our editorial content.”
These deceptive “fact checkers” are a leading cause of censorship which creates an unthinking populace which relies on “experts” to form their opinions.
