An attempt to set the public narrative about what is true by framing individual's or organization's words in either a positive or negative light. Fact checks use labels such as "mostly true" and "mostly false" to frame equivalent statements in a positive or negative light depending on who made them. They also assume implications and intent of the speaker to frame technically correct statements as inaccurate in that the fact checker's own assumed implications were incorrect. When all else fails they use "missing context" to ignore the accuracy of the statement and interject related information to distract from it.
PolitiFact: "We've fact checked Ron Paul's statement about federal income tax being zero before 1913 as half true. There was one for a 10 year period a half century earlier after all"
Critic: "Didn't you fact check an equivalent statement by Jim Web as mostly true though? Oh wait. He's a democrat, isn't he?"
PolitiFact: ;)

Get the coochie checkmug. Jock Check is something most sports players would know.
It is an action in which at a practice or a game, one player yells “Jock check!!” And then proceeds to punch their teammate is the nuts to make sure they are wearing a jock.
If the player is wearing one, they are fine.
If the player isn’t wearing one, no more kids.
