When you have fact-checkers that try to claim that Trump was talking about actually putting bleach on emails, I really have a hard time any of these have to do with 'facts'. It's more like, an opinion on what was said.

Also, why the complete bias with the Trump picture? When Trump says the 'system is rigged', it's because of the blatant bias the media has toward the DNC and the recent Wikileaks that shows us that it's so much worse than any of us thought.

yeah I think the image is pretty biased too, but not all factchecking organisations are the same. There are different standards of neutrality in the world. A lot of the good orgs have signed up to a bunch of principles lately: http://www.poynter.org/fact-checkers-code-of-principles/

And hey just because one particular story didn't make much sense doesn't mean it's not valuable overall.
