A Virginia man was charged with making violent online threats against U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris days after she began her U.S. presidential campaign.

Frank Carillo was charged on Friday in federal court in Virginia with threatening the vice-president after posting a series of messages targeting Harris on the social media site GETTR, according to court records.

“Kamala Harris needs to be put on fire alive I will do it personally if no one else does," read one post cited in court documents. Another said Harris is “going to regret ever trying to become president.”

The messages were posted on July 27, six days after President Joe Biden announced he would not run for re-election and endorsed Harris to take his place as the Democratic candidate.

    Right now it seems to be an LLM that is “summarizing”

    That isn’t at all how MBFC works. Their methodology is clearly explained right here: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/methodology/

    If you’d like to know who rated CTV and when it was last done you can find that information here: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ctv-news/

    Honestly I’m really beginning to believe that the people bitching about MBFC (and Ground News too) aren’t upset by some notion of a “single source of truth” but rather because their lies are being exposed.
