GREAT MOMENTS IN DNC-MSM FACT CHECKING: Twitter’s Community Notes is doing media fact-checkers’ job.

Of all the changes that have come to Elon Musk’s Twitter , Community Notes, a fact-checking feature, has been the most consequential.

Community Notes offers both neutral fact-checking and context. But it’s also shining a glaring spotlight on how many in the media have abandoned their job responsibilities under President Joe Biden , responsibilities that they dutifully and eagerly performed under Donald Trump.

CNN’s Daniel Dale, for example, was hailed and praised for his “rapid fact check” segments on then-President Trump. His Twitter bio currently reads, “Fact checking the president.” Unfortunately, it seems that Dale’s Twitter bio needs a Community Note. He has only fact-checked President Joe Biden once in the past 90 days. Similar is the experience of the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler. In April 2021, Kessler tweeted that the news outlet would discontinue a record of false and misleading claims by Biden. Kessler has not been as rigorous in fact-checking the current president.

This is where Twitter’s Community Notes has picked up the slack.

Just think of the media as Democratic Party operatives with bylines, and their four year vacation makes perfect sense.
