Since I get this a lot: my job is absolutely not to "move anyone from one camp to another." My job is 1) get people accurate information, 2) inform people how leaders are being dishonest with them, 3) try to hold leaders to account for their deception.
I think it's understandable but a bit odd that people are often like "fact-checking isn't killing Trump's approval rating, so Is It Pointless?" When you write 99% of stories, you're probably not going to change an election or something. The point is to make people more informed.
And when people say "people who think Trump is a liar already think he's a liar, so what's the point" -- even people who already think he's a liar often want to understand how precisely he is trying to deceive them on a particular subject. (The End for today.)
