Who "fact checks" the "fact checkers" and how do they know all the facts?

So-called "fact checkers" did not exist until truth began being told, and the MSM could not convince everyone to believe their lies.

CNN, PBS and MSDNC all have fact checkers on the payroll.................paid for by Soros, Clintons, Obamas and Oprah.

@acpguy I believe it....

The MSM was losing its evil influence. And private individuals were telling the truth on social media.

@MrBrownstone And sometimes re written by the radicals.
Ideally, fact checkers fact check other fact checkers, and in theory, good fact checking is supposed to appeal to viewers.

The prevalence of alternate facts and the popularity of self professed rhetorical hyperbole as a legitimate source of such alternative facts does seem to be an indication that this theory has problems.

As to the second point, fact checking has actually been around for awhile, although it has grown more popular thanks to people like Roger Ailes, Alex Jones, and of course serial liars in office.
