USA: Fact Checkers attesting forgery in favor of Biden. Wouldn’t it be better not to have any then?
A quick episode to show you how mainstream communication is now bent on propaganda. In the US, the "Gold Stars" are the mothers of boys who died in war in military service. On the return of the bodies, several "Gold Stars" complained that Biden constantly checked his watch during the ceremony for the return of the bodies as if he were impatient or not very interested, as well as disrespectful. USA Today's “Fact checker”, a leading US newspaper, Daniel Funke wasted no time refuting their eyewitness accounts, accusing them essentially of lying. Too bad that actually, and irrefutably, Biden checked his watch:
It's true. Joe Biden checked his watch during the dignified transfer of the servicemembers killing in Afghanistan at the airport. You can see him jerk his left hand to pull the watch out from under his sleeve, then look down at it. pic.twitter.com/M3QVzJbTIm

Another Gold Star parent, Darin Hoover, said Biden looked at his watch 13 times.
Still, USA Today's Funke wrote that the claims were "partially false" because Biden checked his watch "only after" the ceremony, not during.
The next day the “Fact Checker” was forced to back down, in the face of live images and protests. Except that, as a good journalist and fact chacker, he took a half-step backwards reminiscent of the famous saying “The worst piece of the hole”.
Corrections and Clarifications : This story was updated on Sept. 2 to note that Biden checked his watch multiple times during the dignified relocation event, even during the ceremony itself. The assessment of this statement has been changed from partially false to "Placed out of context".
Privately, in his twitter, Funke admitted that he was wrong: “ It's easy to crush reporters when we're wrong. I get it: for many, we are just another name on a screen. But behind that screen is a person trying to do their best. "
As many of you already know, this story has been corrected. Biden checked his watch multiple times during the ceremony. I regret the error. https://t.co/F6bjQFYVbC

Undoubtedly, it is a pity that, unfortunately, these people have a preference for “One-way” mistakes and that they cannot even apologize and correct themselves adequately. What else do we want, they are journalists …
