"The day after Ernst released her report, Federal News Network added an editor’s note to the post saying that Friedman’s story had been reworked to “clarify that the survey was a non-scientific survey of respondents who self-reported that they are current federal employees, and who were self-selected.”
The editors said they had also added data from an August 2024 study by the Office of Management and Budget, which found that 54% of the federal workforce was required to show up at an office every day. According to the study, just 10% of federal employees worked exclusively from home. Those allowed to have hybrid schedules ended up spending an average of 60% of their work time at federal offices.
In the world of journalism, this is how editors try to address egregious misreadings of their work. Jared Serbu, the deputy editor of Federal News Network, said he and his colleagues were taken aback by how his organization’s clearly unscientific survey had somehow been transformed into a defining statistic about federal employees.
“It was a survey of our niche audience for our niche audience,” Serbu said. “Nobody’s ever been confused about it before this.”
Later in December, a TV report cited the editor’s note and labeled the 6% number as “false.” At about the same time, PolitiFact looked at Johnson’s claim that only 1% of federal workers show up to work each day and labeled it “pants on fire,” the fact-checking site’s lowest rating for a statement that is “not accurate and makes a ridiculous claim.”
That should have ended the conversation. But it didn’t."

The Trump Administration Keeps Citing an Untrue Stat as It Targets Federal Workers
A “survey of our niche audience for our niche audience” was the source for the claim that only 6% of federal employees are working full time in their offices. The number isn’t true. Why do administration and elected officials keep relying on it?ProPublica

The end of the #factcheck era ...is worth examining because of how it heralds another liberal failure... just another capitulation in the battle against #fascism.

Let’s fact-check Mark Zuckerberg’s fact-checking announcement
Zuckerberg didn’t mention that a big chunk of the content fact-checkers have been flagging is not political speech, but the low-quality spammy clickbait that Meta platforms have commodified.Nieman Lab
Ou seja, mais que a sua eficácia no combate à desinformação, o que justificou a popularização do fact-checking foi o alinhamento momentâneo entre os interesses das plataformas big tech e da imprensa. Um casamento de conveniência.
Nesse sentido, talvez o fim do fact-checking não seja assim tão mau.
Por um lado, a big tech começa a mostrar a sua real cara. Tem zero interesse em mudar, e tudo o que fizeram até agora nesse sentido foi, tal como o fact-checking, meramente performativo. Agora que a maré está a mudar, podem abandonar o teatro."
