County residents picket the Leader building holding signs with messages like “Censorship means being over the target” and “The Leader Lies”

HAVE YOU BEEN CENSORED?

For nearly a year, the Leader, the Peninsula Daily News and other local media outlets have been censoring all voices challenging the official Covid narrative (see my February article “Of Covid Testing, ‘Misinformation’ and Censorship”).
Then, on August 24, 2021 the Leader went a step further. Our local newspaper not only shut out civil, open discussion, it promoted demonization of and outright discrimination against the county residents it has been censoring:
“These dolts should be considered pariahs because of ignorance and intransigence. They should not work in offices or schools, should not be allowed in public places without proof of vaccination… Why is it taking so long to completely shut these knuckle-draggers out of civilized society?”
“Thanks, Spreadnecks, for our COVID miseries”—an admitted “rant” from columnist Bill Mann—was riddled with name-calling and inflammatory hate speech. With no science to support what is now a political narrative to demonize the healthy unvaccinated (see Stephen Schumacher’s letter below), Mann declared the “anti-vaxxers” in our community the enemy, a scourge responsible for the “miseries” that have befallen the good and righteous vaccinated.
In response, at least six people sent letters to the editor (LTEs) that we are aware of. They are printed below. None of their letters appeared in the September 1st edition of the Leader. However a concerned letter from Stacey McCarthy was published.
“This kind of talk is what incites violence…
You have an opportunity to create a space for meaningful
dialogue at a time when it is desperately needed.
Instead you choose name calling…”
Rather than embrace that opportunity for meaningful dialogue, the name-calling continued. The following week the Leader again chose to withhold all six letters below. Instead five letters were published on September 8th cheerleading Mann’s vile diatribe and calling for everyone to get the shots.
A health professional whose letter was not printed called the paper to inquire about being censored. Publisher Donna Etchey assured him that the Leader prints all the LTEs they receive, a patent lie. His and the other letters continued to be withheld from publication in the weeks that followed. In their place, the paper ran more “just get the vax” letters.
“Bill Mann is to be commended” began one of the opening salvos, calling those who refuse the injection “a real threat to society,” like “say, mass shooters.” Another writer provoked, “The time has come to make some hard decisions about what to do with these people.”
Is the newspaper’s management proud to be egging on this vigilante mentality?
The Leader couldn’t be a more blatant propaganda rag for pharma’s narrative that we must have never-ending shots in every arm on the planet or we’ll never be safe. Get your injection is the message in every opinion piece, every cartoon, every news story, every letter about Covid it publishes. The unvaxxed are “endangering the lives of others” say these misinformed writers. No matter that even the CDC says the vaccinated spread Covid as much or more than the unvaxxed. Or that the estimated 80-100 million Covid-recovered Americans who are unvaccinated have far more robust and durable protection against future infection than the vaxxed.
When history is written, it will likely be these Covid-recovered unvaxxed who are the true heroes in this saga. In the face of this leaky vaccine, those who developed natural immunity after contracting the virus may be our only hope for ever achieving herd immunity. But forget balanced journalism; the Leader will not allow these truths to see print, bent only on pressuring, cajoling and coercing more people to get injected with a dangerous, failed experimental product wreaking havoc around the world.
Freedom of speech is a thing of the past in Jefferson County. In a month of newspapers since Mann’s incendiary diatribe was printed, except for the initial token letter calling for meaningful dialogue in our community, not a single letter has been published that represents the 50% of Americans who see through this divisive fear narrative based on lies.
Who are these despicable “spreadnecks” – the “boneheads” that Mann and others would like to see purged from (im)polite society? According to researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, the highest proportion of “vaccine hesitant”—23.9%—hold PhDs. Nearly 74% of those refusing have at least some college education.
Other surveys have found that among top refuseniks are our medical personnel and first responders witnessing vaccine injuries and deaths first-hand which are being denied and covered up. They include:
- Frontline nurses across the US and Canada, watching high numbers of fully vaccinated patients being treated for Covid and vax injuries, while their hospitals falsify that data. (7 minutes)
- A UK funeral director who has seen far more deaths from vaccination than from the virus, with deaths from other causes falsely labeled Covid deaths, and deaths following vaccination attributed to anything but the shots. (38 minutes)
- A New York Hospitalist Physician’s Assistant leaving her long-time career after filing more than 120 VAERS reports for Covid vaccine injuries and deaths, then ordered by her superiors to back off from making those reports… and now forced to choose between jab or job. (65 minutes)
Deborah Conrad, PA-C, MSHS, BSMT – Hospitalist Physician’s Assistant, Member of Medical Committee Advanced Practice Provider Director
Asked “Are you going to get this vaccine?”
“Absolutely not. I’m terrified. I am more afraid of this vaccine than I am of Covid. I love my job, I want my job. But I’m scared, scared because of what I’ve seen… I’ll give up my career, and many will—I’ve got many on my side who are walking away from careers that they love because they’re so scared.”
These are perspectives you will not hear from the tightly-controlled medical-industrial complex and complicit media. These health care workers are the “dolts” Mann and his ilk would have you treat as pariahs. As are the police, firefighters, and other first responders throughout North America making a stand to say no to vaccine mandates:
- State troopers, correctional officers, city firefighters and other public employees in Washington state who have filed a lawsuit to overturn Inslee’s directive;
- Police and firefighters in Los Angeles who have formed a resistance group against Covid vaccine mandates, with Fire Department Captain Cristian Granucci, a 31 year veteran, ready to lose his job rather than comply: “I’m done being silent.” (12 minutes)
- A firefighters union almost 500 strong, both vaxxed and unvaxxed, taking the city of Newark, NJ to court over vaccine mandates, joined by police and other trade unions in challenging that city (first 16 minutes);
- Toronto, Ontario police, firefighters and paramedics in this silent, powerful protest against mandatory vaccinations (1 minute).
In the face of rising resistance, the powers-that-be grow ever-more desperate to push the shots. What better way than to falsely portray those resisting as a threat, dangerous to society? As history has shown, a population gripped by fear is easily convinced to target a disenfranchised subgroup as the enemy. It diverts the focus away from power-hungry controllers pulling levers and turning dials behind the curtain.
Like most of the national media, local newspapers are simply bully pulpits for official propaganda. The Leader joins an agenda to vilify a segment of our population and instigate a segregated, two-tiered society—tearing apart community and country. To that end, it runs hit pieces that make a mockery of civil journalistic standards, while barring thoughtful opposing discourse from the public square.
Here are six of the letters the Leader would not print. You may not agree with their perspectives. Do you agree that it serves our community to censor their voices?
Editor, the Leader:
Considering history, there are many examples of atrocities, both long ago and recent, in other countries and our own, where a minority group in the community was demonized, called unclean, dangerous and disease-spreading. We look back on those moments in history with horror.
I don’t know if you can SEE it, but right now, we are demonizing a minority group in our community, calling them dirty, disease-spreading, “spreadnecks,” instituting segregation, firing them from their jobs, closing their businesses, destroying their lives. Can we see where this is heading? Do we continue on this path towards mob violence and segregation, or is this a community that believes in diversity, inclusion, tolerance and peace?
May we help turn the tide towards a more beautiful world!

In response to Mann Overboard.
Surely this unbalanced and hateful perspective can only be shared by very few folks in this town. I pray that this is the case. But moreso, I am simply amazed that the Leader would choose such a vile and immature piece to showcase. The only intent that I can think of to exhibit this column from Mann is to foment division and hatred. This does not in any way suggest journalistic integrity, but instead continues with a nefarious agenda that is promulgated through lies and deception and character assassination of anybody with a dissenting opinion. Anybody telling the truth.
In agreeing with this type of juvenile rhetoric you are choosing to continue with a false reality of fake PCR tests and censorship of treatments in order to coerce an experimental, toxic, gene altering concoction on the masses. Jabs that are aptly named “clot shots”.
If you are vaccinated then why should you be fearful of those who have done their research and have reached a different conclusion than you? Do you not see? This is straight out of the Nazi playbook, but instead now, we unvaxxed are the “unwashed” Jews. What will it be next? The 3 jab folks disparaging the 2 jabbers?
The people that I know who Mr. Mann has termed the “knuckle draggers” are the thought leaders of our time. They are the true investigative journalists who are working on the side of humanity, not for some diabolical agenda. It should never be an “us versus them” mentality. You may even find that these “clueless” ones, the folks in this town that have their guiding star exquisitely aligned, will be here to offer advice in the upcoming days, months, should you need it. We have the facts…..

Editor, the Leader:
Science has always been a continuing course of inquiry. A hypothesis is formed, tested, debated, reviewed and argued over until a consensus is reached. Then additional information is discovered and the debate continues. Science is never “settled”, or we might still be sailing ships off the edge of the world. The discussion is ended when differing opinions are no longer allowed by the majority. Censorship is a sure sign of a weak argument.
We are now in a dangerous period when persuasion is displaced by propaganda. Hate speech is universally condemned, but here we have one of our Leader staff contributors spewing the same stuff we would expect to hear from a recently displaced President. Get ahold of yourself, Mann; you seem to have forgotten your role as a journalist. The Fourth Estate was always a check on power. Look under the rock that hides the information that may expose an uncomfortable truth. Whether your opinion is right or wrong, stifling debate is the antithesis of a robust community discussion in which people have the right and responsibility to explore ideas together. Please join the discussion.

On August 25th, 2021, the Leader reached an historic low with the publication of an ignorant, abusive screed disguised as a column by Bill Mann. His personal choice to play roulette with this experimental gene-based therapy is his business. Insisting everyone join him is not okay. I could go on at length about this man’s obvious lack of personal investigation into the current public policy-driven crisis that is disastrously transforming life as we know it.
But I’d rather take on the real culprits here — the so-called ‘newspaper’— its publisher and editor. The ’newspaper’ which censors the voices of highly educated, well-informed community members who have spent many hundreds of hours researching data, documents and diverging expert opinion around the most important event in human history, yet chooses to give voluminous ink to a malicious, uninformed diatribe from a bitter guy who apparently believes what he hears on CNN.
In the words of an elder British wisdom keeper: “In silencing the free speech of others, you’re silencing your own in this sense — if there is censorship of some free speech, then what is left is not free speech. It’s the freedom to conform to what is believed to be—by authority—acceptable opinion, belief and view.”
This has become the modus operandi for the Leader. It is an unabashed gatekeeper for totalitarian electeds and their appointed bureaucrats. This is not a community service, and it does not serve the Leader itself. The much-deserved downward spiral of its reputation, revenue and ultimately, its existence, will be the subject of its epitaph.

“Mann Overboard”, for sure.
Quite the unsurprising shock reading Mann’s excremental hit piece, which sadly & typically a mainstream paper would see fit to lend ink.
Dehumanizing “the other” is a time-honored political & media technique for sowing fear & division. “Fear is the foundation of most governments.” – John Adams
There’s eternally an enemy at the gates. If not, governments simply create them. The list is long: the godless heathens, barbarians, indians, commies, terrorists, both “left” & “right”, and now even an invisible one. As ever, the emperor has no clothes, as the subjects bow low to the new madness & nakedness with their own.
The Leader has sunk to a new high of lows — which is saying something after 18 months of unilateral insinuations & censorship.
Increasing numbers of physicians, nurses, orderlies, etc, have declined the jabs, and/or resigned; while a growing portion of regular folks, worldwide, are also refuseniks. And now so simple to turn the screws on “the new enemy” — as the PTB continue to lose control of their narratives.
Well, here we go again. To whit:
Hannah Arendt — “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”
Joseph Goebbels, the ace Nazi propagandist sums with three quotes:
- “Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.”
- “If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes accepted as truth.”
- “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”
A reread of the Nuremberg Trials & Codes is overdue, but for now a central, simple question — if you & we have no idea what’s in these “vaccines”, then what the hell is “informed consent”?’

The Leader should be ashamed for running Bill Mann’s column “Thanks, Spreadnecks, for our COVID miseries.” Its form is the same as WWII propaganda that similarly demonized out-groups and advocated segregating them into camps. What else can one make of “They should not work in offices or schools, should not be allowed in public places” and “Why is it taking so long to completely shut these knuckle-draggers out of civilized society?”
One factor delaying America’s descent into pure bio-fascism is its Bill of Rights. Since “the COVID virus doesn’t care about rights,” Mann pushes to “fire these Typhoid Marys and Harrys,” falsely fearing that the asymptomatic healthy are a threat to others just by existing and breathing… not caring that sick-until-proven-healthy is as tyrannical as guilty-until-proven-innocent.
Beyond the evil form of his rant are the dubious claims Mann makes to justify his agenda. He equates polio vaccines with today’s barely-tested experimental mRNA shots that are already linked with 13,068 adverse-events deaths… more in half a year than all other vaccines combined during VAERS’ 31-year history. [As of 9/17/21, 15,386 Covid vaccine deaths have been reported to VAERS.]
Mann complains “we have to wear masks again because of the boneheads,” but the real reason has nothing to do with the unvaxxed. Instead it is CDC data “showing that vaccinated individuals infected with delta may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated” and have “measurable viral loads similar to those who are unvaccinated,” which is the pretext for masks again being pushed.
Mann blames the unvaxxed for “making innocent people sick, especially children,” despite pitiful vaccine ineffectiveness with antibody levels waning in 2-3 months used to justify the current push for twice-yearly booster re-vaccination. By contrast, natural immunity following CV infection is broad and enduring against all variants. Children are at minimal (not “especial”) risk, the CDC reporting only 385 deaths under age 18 in two years, with John Hopkins finding “a mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia.”
Mann continually insults the intelligence of “these dolts”, baldly saying “Not being vaxxed is … an IQ test. Over 99 percent of current COVID cases are unvaxxed.” Mann fails his own test by misquoting the Surgeon General’s debunked claim that “99.5% of Covid deaths [not cases] are among the unvaccinated,” a made-up number counting old deaths before the vax was widely available, counting the vaxxed as unvaxxed prior to 2 weeks after their second shot, and counting vaxxed deaths using a much lower PCR Cycle Threshold than unvaxxed deaths. By contrast, England and Israel report 60% of their current deaths are vaccinated.
The overall message is to scapegoat the vaccine hesitant as subhumans who “devastated … the population at large” so deserve discrimination and loss of livelihood. Shame on the Leader for promoting such blatant inflammatory hate speech while censoring all reasoned opposing viewpoints over the past year.

Arriving in Port Townsend in 1975 in Sherpa, her Ford van, Ana Wolpin has watched a sweetly funky, diverse and tolerant community increasingly gentrify, polarize and lose its soul. After almost half a century engaged in local business, city politics, county organizations and community projects, she joined with fellow editors to revive the Free Press and bear witness to extraordinary times. For a short sketch of Ana's history in Jefferson County, see “About the Free Press."
Can we assume that the caustic Bill Mann, and the publishers of the Port Townsend Leader who print such divisive swill will be attending the Chamber of Jefferson County’s free program on de-escalation? https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/de-escalation-workshop-open-to-businesses/
Thanks for the info, Shoemaker! I’ll be resubscribing to The Leader today 🙂
Thank you, Mr. Schumacher, for your excellent expose on the media tyrants who have helped to politicize a virus in order to attack people whose only ‘crime’ is to suggest that minimally tested, unproven vaccines should not be forced upon every member of our society. It makes one question why despots like Biden, Fauci and Inslee are so insistent we take them. What is in them? Also, what inspired Fauci, the depopulationist Gates and others fund a grisly, secretive Chinese laboratory to concoct the Covid-19 Virus in the first place?
The NDAA of 2012 authorized the use of propaganda to “control the masses”. This overturned legislation from decades ago that forbade the use of government propaganda. How then does government activate propaganda? The government establishes a narrative that they want to spread. This narrative might deal with some facts but the spin on those facts becomes more important than the facts themselves. Some facts, like the Bay of Tonkin Incident or Iraq’s WMD, are complete fabrications but they brought us into two wars that cost millions of lives.
How does government sell these narratives to the media, like our local paper? Obama’s administration prosecuted more whistle blowers than all other administration combined. What does this do to current whistleblowers and the incentive of real investigative reporting? Why does the CIA have offices just devoted to the motion picture industry and consultants to every major newspaper including the NY Times? Local papers, like the Leader, don’t lead but follow. They follow the political narrative of those politicians in power NOT the facts or a service to inform the public. The Media spins through false narratives, promulgates unscientific facts, blames groups, and uses censorship to give us just one side to a story. All of this to “control the masses”.
The New Normal, no longer sees investigative reporters like H.L. Mencken, Edward R. Morrows, or Mike Wallace. Reporters are censored by their editors and editors have a bias towards the controlling government narrative. For one to use their ability to critically think, facts are essential. When facts are altered or censored, what we get is a straight line to controlled thinking. When we view our world, what we perceive is usually described by our thoughts and it is this inner narrative that constructs our world view.
The Port Townsend Free Press is filling the void between a state sponsored narrative and the actual facts. It is our individual responsibility to gather facts from all sources so that we can act according to those facts not to succumb to fearful narratives that promotes fear and then sells us security.
Ben M. I couldn’t agree more. The news should be Who, What, When, Where. Sadly today much of the news media is distortion, opinion and sometimes outright lies.
I used to be a supporter of our local (Seattle) NPR station KUOW, today I won’t give them a penny because of their obvious slant.
I was born and raised in Port Townsend right by north beach, yes jeffco has been very corrupt for as long as I can remember. My friends call it the Misleader lol, I’ve had 6 different pretty significant crimes committed against me in the last 8 years and after dealing with le here and then researching the Joe Damico case my jaw has dropped why no one has lost their jobs there unreal and it just keeps happening…I support this 100% ty for a voice
Thank you Ana for your article highlighting these important issues. I also thank all the folks who wrote those letters. This is such important work and your hard work is much appreciated.
[Editors Note: This comment verges on prohibited Mann-level “insults, taunts”. We are posting it in its entirety, however, to document the attitude this article is highlighting. The Port Townsend Free Press has long included in its commenting guidelines this proviso: “Insults, taunts, bullying, intimidation and profanity do not qualify as serious discourse.

This is peak self-victimhood.
You people are so thoroughly drowning in your own white privilege, you actually have the nerve to compare yourself being jokingly referred to as “Spreadnecks” with the atrocities of the Holocaust. It’s downright disgusting, pathetic, and truly, truly offensive to those who were brutalized and murdered under Nazi rule.
Hey, Ana, if you’re so confident in your position, why don’t you protest the actual medical professionals and public health officials who are mandating these vaccines on our community?
To believe that the PDN and The Leader are a part of some larger conspiracy is utterly asinine. Look at where it’s led you. You’re “publishing” on a poorly constructed website, claiming that your plight of rejecting a life-preserving vaccine is comparable to being a Jew in Nazi Germany, all while attempting to back your claims with falsehoods and manipulated perspectives which only fool those with a room temperature IQ.
Tell me, Ana, where did you obtain your medical degree? What peer-reviewed studies have you conducted on virology?
There is a reason established platforms will not entertain your position: because they care about the health and well-being of the people in their community. They do not want to see their readers dying alone in an ICU bed with nothing but a ventilator keeping them company in their final moments. They do not want to further exhaust the medical community. They do not want to propagate ideas which fester in the minds of Q-Anon fanatics.
But by all means, continue your anti-empathy, anti-science, anti-human diatribe. Continue living under the illusion that you are meaningful freedom fighters, fending off the rise of the Fourth Reich. Continue denying the reality of this virus. After all,there are nearly 700,000 of us who can’t.
I have heard, Mr. Harmon, that in a public dialogue one should try to “speak with good intent”. If this doesn’t happen, a dialogue no longer has anything to do with learning or collaboration but can degenerate into blame and hate. When our community gets fragmented into angry factions it detracts from our basic human instinct to come together as an all inclusive community. To speak with “good intent”, in a community setting like this one, allows us to voice our individual concerns so that we might, through dialogue, see what actually unites us rather than what separates us. You came to this site for a reason, what was your intent when you logged in, was it to speak with good intent?
To believe that this is all to save the world, you need to look deeper. How many people remember Service Stations where when you bought gas and they checked your oil level, washed your wind shield, checked your tires, and vacuumed the inside of the vehicle at no cost? Who supported gas stations having to buy new tanks? Big oil. Now you pump your own, wash your own windows, check your oil and tires or go to a place who does all that for a fee. Now there are very few independent stations because they couldn’t afford it at the price of gas they had to pay for raising your gas fees. This was all done by Big Oil to save the environment? No, it was to freeze out the independent stations. If you believe this last sentence, you probably will go along anything big money wants. This COVID is to make money and do away with anyone who thinks on their own. As said above, if you tell a lie long enough and loud enough, people will believe you. This whole thing is to get the world to comply with big money’s plans. If you’re in doubt read the book BEHOLD A PALE HORSE by Milton William Cooper.. I’m reading the book now and the deeper I get, the more of it makes sense and it’s scary.
In America our constitution allows us the right to choose our method of healthcare, which has included the right to choose a preferred course of medical treatment and/or preferred medication(s). Nowadays, however, our federal, state and local governments demand we be “vaccinated” with marginally-tested, minimally-certified experimental “vaccines” that worldwide seem to be causing more cases of Covid-19 than they are preventing. Countries such as Israel and Britain, whose healthcare officials and media I trust far more than our own, are experiencing huge numbers of “vaccinated” Covid patients in their hospitals. And now “Doctor” Fauci demands all who have been vaccinated take a booster, which is, of course, admitting the initial vaccinations do not work.
Given tens-of-millions of Americans have rejected the fake Covid vaccinations, what right do our governments have to demand we take them? Likewise, if we choose to seek treatments that have successfully cured millions in other countries, most notably Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin, why should that bother our governments or Joshua Harmon? But instead of allowing these alternatives, our governments demand that healthcare providers not prescribe them. Why? Is it because these medications work? Is it because they have been readily available at minimal cost for decades, thus denying pharmaceutical mega corporations the obscene profits they are making from dispensing fake vaccines? Or is there some other reason governments are denying our rights to work, eat at restaurants or gather in groups…something even more insidious? Just what is in these vaccinations, and how long will it be before the REAL and dangerous adverse affects become known?
Speaking of “treatments that have successfully cured millions in other countries, most notably Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin,” I offer the following compilation of data that summarizes some of the research on early treatments around the world. Also, below this reference, is a French study that reflects on the response by poorer countries versus better off countries:

“Evaluation of Strategies to Fight COVID-19: The French Paradigm”
J. Clin. Med. 2021, 10(13), 2942; https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm10132942
Received: 4 May 2021 / Revised: 26 May 2021 / Accepted: 3 June 2021 / Published: 30 June 2021
Conclusions
Countries in Europe unquestionably need to think about on the management of their COVID-19 epidemics. It appears that the richest countries with the highest level of care have had significantly higher mortality rates than the poorest countries [29,41]. Among the possible reasons for this difference are the inability to rapidly develop diagnostic tests, including in France during the first months of the epidemic; the lack of immediate medical care for patients [34,38], which was the consequence of the inability to meet the needs in terms of testing whereas China prescribed antivirals [38]; and the inadequacy of influenza-based recommendations as COVID-19 is very different from influenza (e.g., hypercoagulation problems and happy hypoxia), which led to delays in the care and medicalization of these patients [3,7,9,49,50].
Furthermore, we believe that in developed countries, which are less familiar with infectious diseases [29], strategies tending to privilege therapeutic trials over routine care have led to delayed management and less efficient quality of care than in countries where the immediate health of patients was prioritized over therapeutic trials. For example, in China, the idea of not giving specific care was considered unethical, and doctors prescribed antivirals, but no more than three [38].
Regarding France, the strategy was to give no treatment until its effectiveness had been proven by randomized trials. This difference in strategies between the rich Western world and the rest of the world is probably relevant to the very high mortality rate observed in France.

Projection much?
I believe in what you say…..people are so blind these days…
Here’s another popular variety of censorship:
“AP Fact Checkers skip over some critical evidence regarding their latest “fact check” on naturally acquired immunity vs. vaccine-induced immunity for COVID-19. In what looks like a painfully biased attempt to make vaccine durability look utterly rosy compared to natural immunity, they failed to include large real-world studies from Israel. They also failed to mention the Cleveland Clinic study that included thousands of people. Instead, they cited much smaller studies and provided opinions from experts. But one must wonder…if you’re an established media site writing about natural immunity vs. vaccine-acquired immunity, why would you ignore three large and recent studies on the topic? Such an obvious omission makes one wonder what sort of credentials one needs to become a fact-checker, or are they more concerned with padding support for an agenda versus searching for the truth? ”
