EPISODE 30: The Anatomy of a Fact

In this episode, we examine the ”fact-checkers.” They claim to be non-partisan... is this true? And who funds them? We also talk about how words are often manipulated to turn a truth into a lie. Why did we decide to talk about fact-checkers? Because truth matters. We live in a world that tries to lead with lies, but freedom is not found in lies, it is found in truth. Truth has no agenda. Lies always do. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact-checking https://www.politifact.com/article/2017/dec/15/we-started-fact-checking-partnership-facebook-year/ https://www.poynter.org/ifcn/ https://www.poynter.org/ifcn/grants-ifcn/ https://www.poynter.org/major-funders/#1632843888743-52666069-9ec9 https://www.politifact.com/ https://www.politifact.com/who-pays-for-politifact/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynter_Institute https://mediamattersamerica.com/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Matters_for_America https://www.rwjf.org/en/library/collections/coronavirus-disease-2019--covid-19.html https://www.rwjf.org/en/how-we-work/building-a-culture-of-health.html https://www.rwjf.org/en/cultureofhealth/taking-action.html https://www.rwjf.org/en/about-rwjf/financials.html https://www.factcheck.org/our-funding/ https://annenberg.org/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annenberg_Foundation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Annenberg https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/annenberg-foundation/ https://www.annenberg.net/pages/visionMission.php https://capitalresearch.org/article/dishonest-fact-checkers/ https://www.heritage.org/public-opinion/commentary/the-facts-about-fact-checkers https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/fact-checkers-big-media/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snopes
