Fact Check: RMIT and ABC News partner to relaunch award-winning service

The ABC’s Fact Check Unit is back in business — with ABC News and RMIT University partnering to relaunch the award-winning news service.

The newly-branded RMIT ABC Fact Check will return in March to once again test and adjudicate on the accuracy of claims made by politicians, public figures, advocacy groups and institutions engaged in public debate.

More…

Awesome.

Was Wookie banned?

Do we need to fact check it?

Let me rephrase that. Did it shut down before of after 2007?

I ask because I haven’t heard anything true on ABC news since about then. (Checks web)

Oh, it shut in 2016. It can’t have been very good, then. Probably just the ABC’s way of avoiding being sued for slander.

Back in the science forum days people would have asked for evidence that the ABC has peddled nothing but falsehoods for the last ten years…
