It's better to check facts for yourself instead of listening to what private
companies have to say. Fact-checking "organizations" serve a very obvious purpose, and that purpose is not to "check facts."

A while back there was a Verizon commercial that said "According to Ruemetrics, Verizon is the most reliable network." The silly thing is that the commercial infers that "Ruemetrics" is some well-known source of information and that people should believe whatever conclusion they concoct. However, nobody ever heard of Ruemetrics then, and now it doesn't even exist anymore.

Having a mechanic check your transmission fluid is a good idea, but having a graduate from Bard College check your facts is a bad idea.
