I subscribed to you on Substack following your excellent fact-check of the Walz and Vance debate. You did not disappoint this time either.

In his inauguration speech he mentioned the US first split the atom.

Fact check:

That is not correct, that honour goes to New Zealander Sir Ernest Rutherford

Thank you so much for watching the inauguration (that I personally could not stomach, I’m with a bunch of your readers here!) and for such a comprehensive fact-check. It does give me hope that there’s people out there like you who are unafraid to constantly challenge and call out misinformation and flat out lies from Trump and MAGA friends. Much of the mainstream media is being so wimpy about this. One of the few mainstream media people I watch is Lawrence O’Donnell. He was pointing out tonight that the media were so respectful to Trump (but were shouting at Biden tonight) and didn’t call Trump out for having taken an oath to follow the Constitution when he threatened to remove Constitutional language about people who are born in the US being citizens. I’m paraphrasing to the best of my ability so I hope I got all of that right, but I imagine you get the idea. It’s equally disturbing to see Trump’s menacing policies and to simultaneously see the media just roll over and accept what he says and does without question. More people need to be bold in the media and just confront Trump at every turn and not let him get away with it!

Aren’t you supposed to have your hand on the Bible? Trump didn’t. He’s Unfit, and a Convicted FELON,

Time for a blackout on MSM! They need US, WE DO NOT! Need them, and their manipulative Bull Shit! STOP 🛑 Watching the LIARS! Go to REAL News, like PBS, Thom Hartmann, Democracy Now, Meidas, Keith Olbermann, Brian Tyler Cohen, etc.
