Reviews of GlennKessler

Bias

This app has a CLEAR bias on who they are looking to prove wrong. Majority of the stories that I saw where about one person or people that support him. It’s frustrating because I expected a fact checker to be unbiased, just stating the facts. I was also wanting to see the facts checked on both major sides of the campaign and other things going on in this country but that’s not what this app is. Just not what l was looking for.

Meh

Impossible to view the articles without a subscription. Also impossible to contact Glenn Kessler for assistance, without a Facebook account.

Good advice and information

Enjoy listening to Glenn’s analysis of current legal issues, especially those about Donald Trump and the January 6, Committee.
