Comments on: The Gift of Citizen Journalism: Fact-Checking http://www.mediaite.com/online/the-gift-of-citizen-journalism-fact-checking/ Mediaite Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:56:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=2012.06 By: TfT http://www.mediaite.com/online/the-gift-of-citizen-journalism-fact-checking/#comment-13847 TfT Thu, 17 Dec 2009 01:43:18 +0000 http://www.mediaite.com/?p=57801#comment-13847 I love it when citizen journalists participate in fact checking. For example, the AP "fact checked" Al Gore's statement about polar ice melting. The AP "fact checked" Gore by writing an article issuing a "Correction" on Gore's behalf. The problem of course, is that when the AP issued their "correction" (fact check?); they got it wrong. So, it is up to citizen journalists to correct organizations like AP who don't really fact check, but issue corrections by covering up what was said if what was said doesn't fit the democrat agenda. What Gore said was: " “the entire North Polari(ized) cap will disappear in 5 years.”; what AP said that Gore said is that new data suggested the Artic polar ice cap may disappear......in 5-7 years. We need citizen journo's fact checking these liberal weasels who call themselves reporters when they don't report, they just make stuff up.
