Far-left Glenn Kessler, editor of the Washington Post, made a valiant effort to counter accusations that Soros is “backed” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, but he only managed to seem completely foolish in the process. Kessler wrote an article titled “The incendiary claim that George Soros ‘funds’ Alvin Bragg”, Yet there were several serious flaws in his story.
His “fact check” asserts that Soros and Bragg have “no links,” yet Twitter’s “Community Notes” function disproved this.

“Soros donated $1 million to the Color of Change PAC, the largest individual donation it received in the 2022 election cycle, days after it endorsed Bragg for district attorney and pledged more than $1 million to support his candidacy,” Kessler’s tweet prompted a response from the Community Note.
When Kessler shared his opinions on a particular subject, an online argument developed. Twitter instantly responded with “fact checked.” Oddly enough, this just served to further enrage Kessler, who responded with a whiny tweet that was likewise subjected to several “fact checks.” Online debates may be contentious, and the veracity of statements is frequently called into question.
The Twitter Community Notes added this in reaction to Kessler’s second bogus tweet:
The Color of Change PAC had big goals and pledged to spend $1 million on its campaign. The PAC attracted Soros’ notice shortly after they backed Bragg, and he kindly gave them a staggering $1 million to further their cause. The PAC didn’t stop there; they continued to invest $420,000 towards their goal. It’s obvious that the Color of Change PAC didn’t allow anything get in the way of their determination to have a big influence.

It turns out that the fact-checkers at the Washington Post need some instruction in “fact checking” properly.
