I have to say this current version of fact checking really blows everything out of the water we've previously had. Crowd sourced fact checks are far superior to the garbage we've had prior when it was just a partisan/agenda driven tool. I've been seeing it applied fairly equally across the site.

For example this is a great example that the traditional fact-checkers wouldn't dare touch. Instead now someone like Blinken got smited into the nether realms.

Posts like this is why honestly you're just generally viewed as a pretty shitty poster. What exactly does that prove or show? If I find a picture of Putin with Merkel or Macron and post it, so what? Does it prove anything? I mean it's such a low-tier response that doesn't even touch on what the main point of my post is, not even on a tangential level. "Look picture of man with bad man, therefore it okay".

Yes, except that i had sympathy for this guy the first time, until i see him really crawling toward Putin. Even interviews: Very human, humble, calm... Anyway...

Quoting;

"The evidence that Washington precipitated Mr. Khan’s downfall is laughably thin. Mr. Khan lost power after falling out with his former patron, then army chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa. Gen. Bajwa didn’t need U.S. permission or help to do what Pakistani generals have done for decades: boot civilian leaders from government."
