The degree to which you exaggerated #2 makes it wrong regardless of whether you see it as an opinion or not.

Hence it was an unpopular opinion....at least with liberal morons. How you can even argue that it's incorrect after they've been busted posting fake stories by authors etc is laughable. Their fact checking is only slightly better than Dan Rather's.

Newspapers don't have fact checkers. Writers verify accuracy and show their notes to editors.

Magazines have fact checkers.

As far as I know, they don't call sources to verify statements. Doing that, which I think of when I think of the job of a Fact Checker, I believe, is only in magazines.
