> they have been caught several times doing fact-checking by denying some fact, and when it was proved true

I loved the time there was a claim that you could spend three days in jail for such and such and they 'fact-checked' it as false because you could be detained for a maximum of 72 hours.

[Edit: I misremembered slightly. It was "a few days" but the point stands. Three days qualify as "a few".]
