Fact checkers will link or establish their evidence.

The claim that the president was a Russian spy was never made afaik. But if you have evidence of a fact checker saying this, I’d appreciate it.

I think you aren’t going to find it because overlapping fact checkers with news media is a slippery thing.

News media is going to be combining opinion and news, to push an angle.

Fact checkers are wont. I suspect you are shifting your ire from media, to fact checkers, which wouldn’t be fair.

However if there was a fact check that said Trump was a Russian plant? That would negate my contention.

I didn’t save the links, so no, I don’t have evidence ready to show you, and it’s not like I can just go to their websites and see an accurate history of their conclusions on specific claims, given that many of them have a history of simply burying their original conclusions once it becomes obvious they were wrong (e.g., [0]).
