A piece by @RollingStone on how WaPo seemingly (and almost entirely) bungled a recent fact-check of the candidate's statement on medical debt and its far-reaching impact.
Excerpt: "To review: the Post fact checker, going straight to the source, a Harvard lecturer, found that Sanders’ was sticking to close to the facts, and if anything understating the problem."
Another excerpt: "The process by which the Post fact checker transmogrified a basically true statement into a ruling of “mostly false” is a case study in the uselessness of the political fact-check as it is often practiced."
