If this had happened in the UK then I'm sure that (a) the "fact-checker" would've lost her job immediately, and (b) she would've perhaps faced an action for slander, depending on how far any complainant wanted to go with it

I wish we had such laws in this country - fact is something that is apparently lost upon the American media.

I just can't remember what they call this Christian Cross.

At our Air and Space museum, there is a photograph of a pilot wearing a fylfot as a good luck piece. Someone thought it was a nazi symbol and defaced it.

This fylfot symbol was used way way before the Nazi adopted it.
