Did the Washington Post Say It Wouldn’t Fact Check Joe Biden?

No.

An article from website Trending Politics claims that the Washington Post “Says They Won’t Hold Joe Biden Accountable With ‘Fact Checker’ Like They Did With Trump.” The article states that the Post will not “fact check anything [Biden] says” and that they “refuse to fact check Biden.”

The article misrepresents the recent ending of the Washington Post database of false and misleading claims made by Donald Trump during his presidency. The Post’s director of communications, Shani George told The Daily Caller that “The database of Trump claims was started a month after Trump became president as a way to not overwhelm our fact-checking enterprise, where the core mission is to explain complex policy issues.” George also mentioned that there were no plans to start a comparable database of false or misleading claims from Biden, but that “we will continue to dig into the accuracy of statements by political figures of all party affiliations.”

    I find it amazing that there would still be people wondering if WAPO will treat Biden with anything close to the scrutiny they approached Trump or any other republican. Pretty much all of there "fact checks" just try to cover for democrats anyway. It is the Russia Today of North America.

    Did they fact check no one would die of covid if Trump did his job? Did they fact check Trump had no vaccine plan and they had to build it from the ground up?

    Hell they don't even ask Biden whether he is "the big man" or if he met with Bobulinski. Let alone a thousand normal follow up questions. Our legacy media is a joke.
