[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 75883604, member: 123415"] The Epoch Times presents a unique challenge for many folks in the "fact checker" vocation, as well as left-wing pundits looking to critique right-wing pundits, as The Epoch Times, while still clearly having a right wing bias, doesn't demonstrate many of the glaring flaws (with regards to spin and accuracy) that some other right wing outlets are known for... like a OAN or Newsmax or Breitbart. That's why, much like what you see with the DailyWire, many of the fact check reviews of The Epoch Times have to resort to the approach of grading things as "lacking context" or "selective reporting" in order to attack their image...rather than just clearly calling out blatant lies like they can easily do with OAN/Newsmax/Breitbart. I love the concept of having fact checkers and people who make it a mission to keep the media honest...however, I do feel that particular realm is lacking neutral participants...as there is a clear bias within that realm. Basically, it ends up being... "if a conservative publication lies, call it out as a lie; if a conservative publication reports valid information, full quotes, and accurate statistics...but what they're saying hurts someone's feelings or isn't something the far-left can easily provide a rebuttal for, then claim it's [I]missing context[/I], or call the publication into question for [I]selective reporting[/I] for not going out of their way to write articles that puts the other side's position in a favorable light" That's why, even though I only agree with him 50% of the time, I'm glad that someone like a Ben Shapiro (and his DailyWire crew) is around. I like Klavan & Ben, Matt Walsh is 'ok', and Michael Knowles is insufferable... but none the less, it at least keeps the fact checkers and the people at "Media Matters" on their toes, as they can't rely on their typical, canned, approach to trying to call out conservative outlets like they can do with the OANs and Newsmax's of the world. For instance, when Don Lemon or Brian Stelter have conservative pundits on their show, they can typically walk all over them, and there's plenty of "low hanging fruit" that's there for them to attack. He keeps them on their toes a little more: [MEDIA=youtube]v2mHhejaIvQ[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]0F-70rBorFs[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
