Fact Checker
"Check" as a verb has TWO primary definitions:
To examine (something) in order to determine its accuracy, quality, or condition, or to detect the presence of something.
e.g. "customs officers have the right to check all luggage"
Similar:
examine
inspect
look at
look over
scrutinize
scan
survey
study
BUT ALSO:
2. To stop or slow the progress of (something, typically something undesirable).
e.g. "efforts were made to check the disease"
Fact Checker?
One who examines 'facts' to determine their accuracy, validity, etc.
One who STOPS the facts from getting out there, from moving forward, from escaping
That's really what fact checkers are: #2. The weaponized propaganda agents mobilized in order to prevent facts and truth from reaching the public
