Almost nobody wants their information "fact-checked/censored."
That's according to the latest unscientific poll of 1,262 people at SharylAttkisson.com.
Nearly 100% (99.6%) said they want their information fact-checked or censored by "Nobody; I can do it."
Only 2 people (0.16%) said they want their information fact-checked/censored by Big Tech. Two other people said they want it done by "Dems or Repubs."
Only one person (0.08%) said he wants the news to fact-check or censor his information.
The findings fly in the face of a growing trend, particularly since Donald Trump entered the political scene, for media, Big Tech, government, and other third parties to play the role of "fact checker" and take it upon themselves to tell people what they should believe, and what information they are allowed to access.

Feel free to fact check me and let me know what facts you have that disagree with me. That is called a discussion. Worst case call it an argument!
To censor something I say is a violation of the First Amendment to which nobody has a right to do, not the government, not a institution of supposed higher education and never a social media platform when being directed to by the government.
