Speaking to the Daily Wire, Owens shed further light on the situation, explaining that she was not given any further information regarding this supposed error and demanding that PolitiFact admit publicly that the fact-checking flag was false.“I wanted to show that these fact-checkers just lie, and they usually go unchecked because most people don’t have the money, don’t have the time, and don’t have the platform to go after them – and I have all three,” she said, according to the Daily Wire.And it seemed to work. PolitiFact's article explaining why Biden was president-elect was retracted, according to Owens, and the fact-checking company posted a correction on November 26 that essentially admitted they had been at fault.Bringing her legal team to the fight seemed to have been the decisive move, Owens told the Daily Wire, explaining that appealing to fact-checkers through the system goes nowhere.“These people are sitting back thinking they’re the gods of tech – opinion-checkers: they’re censorship lords,” she explained, showing that lawsuits were the only option.And Owens's battle isn't stopping here. Writing on Twitter, she explained that she is "deadly serious about going after both Facebook & Twitter, and if we have to swim through an alligator moat of fact-checkers first – so be it."The commentator is currently suing fact-checkers from Lead Stories and USAToday, and has set up a website, factcheckzucks.com, to raise funds.At 8 Months pregnant, I unfortunately cannot fight on the ground alongside patriots like I am used to, but I am taking every measure to fight these communists in the court room. It is my goal to expose these lying “fact-checkers” one by one. @JoeBiden is NOT the President-elect. pic.twitter.com/hW4NLpK4tc
