If Twitter wants to fact check, fine. But posting links to pieces by anti-Trump news outlets is not fact checking.

Calling normal news outlets "anti-Trump" is just falling for his crybully antics.

Not really. They do have a bias. Regardless of that it's still not fact checking.

It's not black and white. Framing them as "anti-Trump" makes it seem like they are extremist against Trump. If anything they are "anti-Trump" because 1) Trump is anti-them and 2) they report on his plain daylight criminality.
