    In addition to the explanations already posited, I’d also think there most likely are some people who want to lie, argue disingenuously, and a fact-checker tends to get in the way of their rhetoric.

      Counterpoint: “Fact checkers” with an institutional bias are an excellent way to cover for lies promoted by those institutions
