Are fact-checkers hiding for Biden?

Remember those "Fact-Checkers" during the presidential term of Donald Trump who pounced on every word he spoke. Are they in hiding now that Donald Trump is gone and Joe Biden, their preferred president, is in the White House?

Like, "Biden Repeats Lie That Rioters Killed Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick," but an officer shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the U.S. Capitol siege and will not face criminal charges.

Or, "Biden Keeps Saying That The Economy Was Tanking Before He Arrived At The White House" when U.S. real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 6.4 percent in the first quarter of 2021.

Or, "Biden Blames Trump for the Border Crisis," but Trump is not responsible for the thousands of people crossing the border and the number of illegal aliens surged to record highs since Biden assumed office.

Or, "Biden Says Banning 'Assault Weapons' Reduced Gun Violence and Mass Shootings," but the Department of Justice found that the "ban cannot be credited with a decrease in violence carried out with firearms."

Or, "Biden Says Majority of Migrant Families that Cross Border Are Sent Back." However, the Customs and Border Protection data states a fraction of the 20,000 family units apprehended have been sent back.

Or, "Jan. 6 Was Worst Attack on Our Democracy Since the Civil War." Worse than the 9/11 attack or worse than Pearl Harbor?

Will the Trump fact checkers return during President Biden's term in office or continue to be like turtles that hide in their shells as a form of protection?
