Earlier this week we told you about Trump running mate JD Vance triggering the Left (and apparently the media) by making this joke:
JD VANCE: They held the convention in Chicago so that Tim Walz could accurately say that he’s been in a war zone. pic.twitter.com/nLRNV7dBDx

Pretty funny, right?
WRONG. At least not to everybody.
Now it would appear that the media firefighters are fact-checking Vance's remark. Here's one such take from a CNN reporter:
Vance in WI says his "little theory" about why Democrats chose to host their convention in Chicago is "so that [Walz] could actually, accurately say that he went, he visited a combat zone"

Democrats selected Chicago in April 2023 — long before Biden even considered dropping out
Oh, well we're glad THAT'S settled (cue massive eye roll).
The journos are so dumb and broken they’re now fact-checking obvious jokes. https://t.co/QiR34h3vkD

It's what they do. Meanwhile Democrats are lying and gaslighting like crazy at the Dem convention and they're not really saying too much about it.
When you fact check a joke... it makes your entire "journalism" career the joke.

It also makes CNN the joke.
It was a joke. A funny one.

Unlike the joke that is the modern-day mainstream media.
