FactCheck.org's bogus claim that Trump's embassy cost estimate is bogus

We return again this morning to our frequent and highly necessary theme of blistering the worst thing journalism has come up with in a long time - the so-called "fact-check" genre. The problem is not with the concept of checking facts, nor is it with the notion that journalists should correct the record when a politician says something false. The problem is with how these people presume to decide what is a fact and what isn't. In many cases, they're dealing with a piece of information to which they cannot definitively attach a label of true or false, yet they presume to tell us anyway - and with absolute authority - usually based on little more than their opinion of who should be believed.
