So I recently tried to share a @TimKennedyMMA video ...only to be told "independent" fact checkers found it "partly false" that authoritarian regimes used gun control.

So I went down a rabbit hole...and TLDR is that fact checking is a total lie.
1/5
"Independent" Politifact claims theres "no direct link" between said regimes and gun control.
Politifact's position is literally "Yes, Tim K's right that this happened, but authoritarian regimes didn't say they murdered people bc they were disarmed so he's wrong."
2/5
That is...extremely stupid.
Something someone could only believe if they were being paid to do it.
Speaking of that, seems like "independent" is owned by the Poynter Institute...so who funds Poynter?

So...I went to Poynter's website and...it lists its "Major Funders" as Facebook (which owns Instagram) and Google. And Soros of course.
poynter.org/major-funders/
So Facebook/Instagram's "independent" fact checker is...paid for by Facebook.
4/5
In summary, "independent" fact checkers are Fake News.
They are SO NOT INDEPENDENT that there's literally only one layer of separation...which can be tracked down in about 50 seconds.
Also, Big Tech wants to take our guns.
