Maybe a statement that we can all agree on would be: _selectively_ fact checking implies picking sides?
I think it's a point of contention (colored by existing political views) as to whether or not Twitter is selectively fact checking here.
Hopefully this isn't too controversial, there's a lot of hostility already in this thread, and I don't want to contribute to it.
Selectively fact checking things that are arguably opinions rather than factual claims in the first place, using flimsy evidence, whilst leaving actual factual misinformation to spread is definitely picking sides.
