Lead Stories' Response to BMJ Open Letter Objecting to a Lead Stories Fact Check

Every source that fails to provide a complete description of reality as a whole is "missing context."

But it is not the job of sources who are reporting true things to soften their messages, or act as if they are kindergarten teachers and their readers are children.

News Outlet: "Saudi Arabia killed Jamal Khashoggi"

Fact Check: Missing context, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does good things sometimes, too.

News Outlet: "Jussie Smollett found guilty"

Fact Check: Missing context. All lives won't matter until Black Lives Matter.

Thanks, Facebook for this intrepid fact checking. I feel blessed, rather than patronized.
