‘You can’t trust anything’ liberal fact-checkers say: Jesse Watters

‘The Five’ react to the fact-checking website Snopes admitting that President Biden wore a hard hat backward after flagging it as false, and 'SNL' mocking Trump for allegedly making up ‘de-bank,’ a real term.

Liberal fact-checker Snopes had egg on its face over its attempt at running cover for President Biden. 

"The balance of scientific evidence strongly suggests the conclusion of the new coronavirus emerged from nature, be it in the Wuhan market or somewhere else," The Post fact-checker said. "Too many perfect coincidences would have had to take place for it to have escaped from a lab, but the Chinese government has not been willing or able to provide information that would clarify lingering questions about any possible role played by the Wuhan labs."

PolitiFact had one of the most alarming "fact checks" on Sept. 16, 2020, calling the lab leak possibility a "debunked conspiracy theory" that was "inaccurate and ridiculous," handing it a "Pants on Fire" ruling. 

USA Today, Vox, PolitiFact and The Washington Post would ultimately revise their reporting, while CNN and Snopes chose not to update their erroneous articles.
