Yesterday there was a fact-check-a-palooza! Just to recap if you missed it, first the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler took on claims that George Soros backed the campaign of Alvin Bragg, who is now Manhattan’s super-“progressive” District Attorney. Kessler called it an “incendiary claim”:

Eventually Twitter’s Community Notes came along to fact-check the fact-checker:
Kessler appears not to have liked that, calling those adding background and context “Twitter trolls”:
Twitter trolls who posted a "community note" to this tweet apparently have not read the actual fact check. Click the link and you will find that Color of Change did not spend $1 million in independent expenditures on Bragg, as people often claim. https://t.co/fCJVrCrvyW

Do you know what happened next? You guessed it! There was a fact-check of the fact-checker’s attempted fact-check of Community Notes’ first fact-check:
By this point, our sides were splitting, and Dan Bongino was also enjoying the glorious moment:
Watching the absolutely hapless “fact-checker” at the Washington Compost continue to melt down as he gets humiliated for his Soros boot-licking, is one if the finest moments in social media history. 👇🏻👇🏻 https://t.co/1GW2B6rcTg

The amount of hackery that was exposed (again) was absolutely incredible. Those tweets should be put in a museum.
Not to be outdone, Elon Musk rubbed some salt into the “fact-check” wound with this classic reply:
WaPo “Fact Checker” @GlennKesslerWP is trapped in @CommunityNotes Hell 🤣😵💫 https://t.co/w3M5qnM2sH pic.twitter.com/DM3dwtfraS
