Climate at a Glance for Teachers and Students, #factchecked by AFP, circulated by controversial US think tank is riddled w #misleading #claims about established #climatescience in what campaigners slam as a bid to "infect" #youngminds. The free-market #HeartlandInstitute drew outrage from campaigners, educators, but applause from climate skeptics when it sent book to more than 8,000 American school teachers this year "to present facts" it said were ignored or distorted by pundits and the media.

This piece @pbump piece explaining the GOP’s use of “woke” as a pejorative, is quite good.

It appears under the WaPo heading, “Politics * Analysis.”

Questions about #Analysis in #Journalism:

How do writers & editors at WaPo (& other news outlets) define the difference between “Politics” (with no subheading) & “Politics * Analysis”?

How do they define “Politics * Analysis” vs “Opinion”?

What’s the ethical or news value of #Opinion pieces if they’re not #FactChecked?

“On Nov. 12, in a text chain w/ #Ingraham & #Hannity, #Carlson pointed to a tweet in which a Fox reporter, Jacqui Heinrich, #FactChecked a tweet from #Trump referring to Fox broadcasts & said there was no evidence of voter fraud from #Dominion.

“‘Please get her fired,’ #Carlson said. He added: ‘It needs to stop immediately, like tonight. It’s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.’ Heinrich had deleted her tweet by the next morning.”

I understand the #1stAmendment bars the State from abridging #freespeech. That includes the right to speak untruths, subject to certain strictures, (e.g, “Fire” in a crowded theater). I also understand it is not an infringement of a liar’s 1st Amendment rights to point out that they are in fact #lying, and provide the facts to substantiate that.
It seems like some people in public life react as if being #factchecked and called out for lying violates their 1st Amendment rights in some fashion.

#AOC #factChecked about #jan6 on twitter...

@watch_union Elmo got #factChecked on that one by #birdwatch

Excellent fact check.
One problem. The article says "Twitter users" shared this fake image, claiming the Italian air force as Indian.
The truth is, only BJP idiots made that claim.
#factchecked by me. https://twitter.com/ThePrintIndia/status/1460940562727456779
