Its kind of insane to me that in today’s parlance, simply correcting a blatant “error” with a, “police and local officials have said there’s no evidence of that happening,” or, “average gas prices right now are $x,” is considered fact-checking. It seems like what I think of as fact checking used to be mainly for checking the more weedy details or, prior to the internet, figures that weren’t easily available.
