Here is something that I don’t understand: factcheckers that have no idea of the facts.

Now I’m no publisher but it would seem that if I had an incoming article about the military I’d find a veteran and get him, or her, to vet it.

If I had an article about law enforcement, I’d ask a cop. Medicine, a doc or nurse.

I mean, shouldn’t the famed fact checking of journalism include someone who knows, well, facts?

In the decades I’ve followed news I’ve never seen an article about something I have personal expertise in that didn’t have glaring errors.
