Honestly its probably for the best. When people started investigating the "Fact checkers", it was discovered that they didn't know anything about the checks that were attributed to them.

Huh. Facebook would never either knowingly or because they are money grubbing POSs hire incompetent fact checkers and then when their incompetency comes to light use that as an excuse to scrap the whole thing... Never!

The fact checkers were not incompetent, they weren't involved at all.
