For those who are against fact-checking, I have to ask: what could your reasoning be? Wouldn’t you want to find out if you’re being misled?

It’s understandable to question the value of fact-checking, and there are a few reasons some might oppose it. For some, there’s a concern about bias—if they believe that fact-checkers might have their own agendas or leanings, they may feel that the checks themselves are not impartial. Others might argue that fact-checking can sometimes oversimplify complex issues, failing to capture the nuance surrounding certain claims. Additionally, some individuals might feel overwhelmed by constant scrutiny of information, leading to skepticism about whether any source can truly be trusted. Ultimately, many people do want to know the truth, but their methods and trust in the institutions performing the fact-checking can vary.
