Media Fact Checkers: Stop Pretending to Fact Check Trump's Comments on Iran

The Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, including family members of government officials, while negotiating the Iran nuclear deal, a senior cleric and member of parliament has claimed.

There is no way of fact checking short of launching a Mueller style investigation of the Iran Deal.

Media fact checking though doesn't involve actual facts.

So there have been multiple fact checks pretending to fact check President Trump's tweets about the story.

You're fact checking the chairman of Iran's parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of its national security and foreign affairs committee.

Did you disprove it didn't happen by spending 5 minutes emailing former Obama Iran Deal people? Nope.

If you want to disprove it, declassify and release all documents about the Iran Deal and all correspondence involving it.
