Fakechecker (fake + factchecker); Fake Checker

Many people believe that factchecking is fake and essentially seeks to confirm the biases of organization sponsoring the factchecking. Fake factchecking has been called “fake checking” or “factchecking,” and fake factcheckers called “fake checkers” or “fakecheckers.” A fake factcheck is a “fake check” or “fakecheck.” The terms—along with “fake news”—became popular in October and November 2016, with the election of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Fakecheck
The process of labeling true stories “fakenews” that do not fit the legacy media’s narrative and agenda.
I posted three news stories on Facebook but our technofascist overlords fakechecked all of them. They didn’t even claim they were false! They said nonsensical things like “lacked context.” I’ve been fakechecked again!
