Biased Fact Checking
August 5, 2022

They fact checked something that wasnt even the original claim. They said that Alexandria Ocasio Cortez did not pretend to get arrested. The real claim is that she pretended to be handcuffed. She did get arrested but no one got put in jail and you can clearly see that she was pretending to be handcuffed. Maybe she got a fine for being there but I haven't seen it so I cant say if even that is true. They are playing with words to make her look good in a biased way. Multiple fact check sources say the same thing some even say the pictures were altered when it was a video. In the screen shots you'll see multiple bad fact checks and you will see in the screen shots that she is in fact pretending to be handcuffed. You see her walking with her hands behind her back on top of each other and then she waves. The fact check video from USA Today doesn't even show her wave at the end, they cut the video. If people did say she pretended to be arrested, they meant to say handcuffed. All I saw was people saying she pretended to be handcuffed. Like I said they are playing with words. Also getting fined for something isnt getting arrested. When you get arrested you leave in a police car. So she didnt even get arrested.

In the tank for Killary
November 6, 2016

I went over to their site (I never do this), and remembered why I never go to this site. Every article was bashing Trump and talking about how great poor Killary is. That newspaper has no idea what unbiased journalism is.

Usa today fact checked where Joe Biden said he does not work for you to an American citizen. A TAX PAYER AT THAT. SO GUESS WHAT THAT MEANS HE DOES WORK FOR YOU. No argument over the second amendment can change that fact that some one who works for tax paying Americans has ZERO RIGHT to say anything related to what he said. Any politican who says those words to us deserve to be jailed immediately. If you follow those steps we will jail you too for supporting corruption in our country.

USA Today is just one lie after another. It is absolutely terrible. Nothing they say is correct. I am surprised they are still around. Stay away from this publication.

Which might not be bad if they were selling comic books or diapers, but USA Today purports to be the nation's NEWSPAPER, for God's sweet sake. It gives a piss-poor representation of national news, and less than adequate coverage of local news. And in order to write to them to TELL them they're doing a piss-poor job, you have to sign up for their service, allowing them to market to you. NO THANKS. I'm not giving my email address, much less my real world address, to a bunch of scammers who think that the crap USA Today spews constitutes actual COVERAGE.

Wish I'd read the reviews before I tried "home delivery". I've called the Philippines for a month and always assured I'd get the paper. Hasn't happened!

Great site for current news. They also have news clips of the top headlines. I really appreciate this site. I also love the sudoku games they have available.

Thank goodness they do not hire objective reporters there. They have superceded theNational Enquirer for crappy, one-sided stories, so they can make more money.

After 'chatting' on-line with USA Today Help Center for 3 days straight I called and spoke to a representative. On the third day of calling I spoke with a supervisor. After each chat and phone conversation I was assured the matter would be looked into and resolved the next day. Today is the 13th day and still no paper.
As USA Today advises me each day, I can read the paper on-line, and sometimes do so. But I am paying (or being credited anyway) for home delivery and expect USA Today to honor their contract.
I am mostly curious now as to how long I can continue to contact them daily before they actually do something to resolve the delivery issue.
While I like the newspaper style, format and content, the continued frustration with their lack of service is going to force me to cancel my subscription and let everyone I know about my issues. If they cannot deliver their paper (and I live in a suburb of a fairly large city) they should advise me that only on-line service is available. With that understanding I would have only signed up for on-line service, and been satisfied with what they provide.

Do you call it fake news, liberal lies, propaganda or a mouth piece for Communism? USA Today has all the credibility of Mao, Pol Pot and Stalin all rolled into one.

I tried to get home delivery of USA Today and couldn't. I placed an order for home delivery of USA Today based on a recommendation from my next door neighbor who gets daily delivery in his driveway. When the first day's paper wasn't there I used USA Today's website to report a missing paper. All I got was an auto-reply and no paper the next day. I called their customer service department and got a call center in India. The agent kept apologizing and said the paper would be delivered the following day. Guess what? Next day, no paper. Called again and asked to speak with a supervisor, who didn't speak English any better. He continued to apologize but in the end did nothing to get a paper delivered to me.

I tried using USA Today's feedback system - nothing.
Continued calling their customer 'dis'service center - nothing.

I guess my neighbor is one of the lucky ones as I couldn't get USA Today ever deliver a single paper to my home.

THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON-EXISITNG.

I wrote a legitimate comment on an article, but it would not post because I wrote "Nazi Germany." I was making a legitimate comparison of the Chinese government to Nazi Germany btw.
