Example of why you cant trust 'Fact Checkers' WRAL TV (NBC)  fact checked someone's interpretation of the CDC data showing 85% of people surveyed, who had covid, wore a mask All the time (74.2%) or often (14.5%).   A certain person interpreted this data as  "Almost everyone surveyed said they wore a mask".   WRAL  (NBC) says that is a FALSE statement.      They said that's a false statement for two reasons.  1. "Almost everyone" is subjective.  People might interpret that as a higher % than what the study actually showed.  As in I might hear that and think "Almost everyone" means 99 out of 100 people or something such as that. 2. The study only surveyed 314 people... and 314 people isn't everyone who had Covid. Now just think about if you apply that logic to literally any type of statistical data.   Any type of extrapolation would be false.   Any type of poll would be false... unless the poll surveyed every, single,  person involved.   The ironic thing about this "fact check" is that the person who they're fact checking actually read the exact statistics of the CDC survey; but because he followed up the generalization of "almost everyone" then the entire thing was deemed false. So this is why you can't trust these "fact checkers".  You also can't read a news headline and take it as fact.   If you really want to have a valid opinion about anything these days then you have to do your own research.  No shortcuts.
