I have removed The Washington Post from the roster of fact-checkers on this blog. The Post, which built its reputation on fact-checking Richard Nixon right out of office and which compiled the most authoritative list of Trump lies during that man's first term (30,573!) has shown no recent interest in fact-checking Donald or any public official. I canceled my subscription to their website a few months ago and my access expires today. A free press requires comedians being able to make fun of our elected officials but it even more requires newspapers to point out when politicians ain't telling it like it is. In the words of some president who told 30,573 lies in his first term…sad.
Meanwhile, Daniel Dale at CNN lists some of the less-than-true things in Trump's embarrassingly-bad speech to the United Nations. Politifact has some more and so does The Associated Press.
FactCheck.org rips into the "Tylenol causes autism" here and here. Politifact has even more.
And lastly: People are claiming all sorts of different amounts of cash that Disney lost by suspending Jimmy Kimmel's program. A writer for Snopes tries to sort out what is known from what is not knowable.
