Where do I state that?
You stated:
Please check your sorces. Starting with your rants against the Washinton Post and Yahoo.
Anti tRump no, anti corruptiion yes. But admitedly it seams like anti corruption does in fact make most anti tRump. LOL that you mention TDS, but we are the ones with rational facts unlike tRumpers and their love of "alternate facts"

Both rate HIGH on factual reporting, unlike
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fox-news/
So is the fact checking website you used as as source, or its founder, qualified to actually fact check?
Nope!
The mediabiasfactcheck website was founded in 2015 by Dave Van Zandt whose only qualification is a degree in communication.
According to "Columbia Journalism Review" as published by Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism the site has been described as a "amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and Van Zandt as an "armchair media analyst."
The Poynter Institute stated "Media Bias/Fact Check" is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."

"I may only post a link or two but I do check multible sources. "
I this case you are referring to an article written by the Washington Post, which is owned by Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos. The Washington Post is a ultra liberal news outlet known for printing numerous anti Trump articles. The article itself was then displayed within Yahoo's news feed in order for Yahoo & the Washington Post to make money from ads embedded within the article.
Yahoo is another a ultra Liberal news outlet whose news feed specializes in other ultra liberal websites such as the Huffington Post, Newsweek, Time, Rolling Stone and so and so on.
In an attempt to justify Yahoo and the Washington Post you point to a fake fact checking website. For some reason you use the same fake fact checking website to try to discredit Fox News.
"As to your claims that all the fact checkers are liberals, well maybe that's because liberals are thinkers and search out the facts."
So a fake unqualified fact checking site is a great example of liberal thinking because liberals search out the facts.
What a great example of a oxymoron.
Yahoo is so scared of actual facts that on June 30, 2020, it removed the ability to leave comments below articles in its news feed. The problem was that too many people were leaving information and links to sites that disproved the articles. Yahoo removed the comments section to remove facts from being presented to their readers before an election.
You mean to tell me you've not noticed Yahoo replacing the comments section with the following statement and link to a survey?
What is Yahoo afraid of?
The facts being shown to readers!
"They are not closed minded lemmings following their leader off a cliff. That has always worked out well hasn't it (The Branch Davidians, The Peoples Temple, Heaven's gate). Heck they don't even have to be suicidal there are groups like the Kingston's who amassed $511 million while those at the bottom of their cult gladly lived like slaves to the top. Don't even get me started on creeps like Warren Jeffs."
Nice to see that you are following the Liberal narrative of intolerance by branding anyone who disagrees with you.
When liberals don't have facts they resort to name calling and accusing you what they are guilty of.
You forgot to mention the great Liberal causes of history - Communism, Nazism (Socialism) and Fascism. These resulted in mass graves and the deaths of hundreds of millions.
Honey, I am a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN, a REAL REPUBLICAN. and not one of these fascist dictator want-a-be's cult followers. It is what it is, a cult following.
Also as to your claim that liberal means communisum and socialism. In a way you are right but then again you are very wrong. to be a liberal thinker in terms of political party lines mearly means that you are for a change in the status quo. When the peasants rised up during the French Revolution they were the liberals same as when our nation went to war to gain our independence we were the liberals, don't forget that during the Civil War the Republican party WAS the liberal party. And yes it can go the other way and instead of freedom the new "liberators" can and have subjugated the masses like Castro and Stalin. And like I see the radical right trying to do with America today. Control religion and force it back into the schools (but only the state sanctioned religion), indoctinate the children. (kinda like we did with the Native American children back in the good ol' days), Oh and yeah lets take away a womans control of her body. Whats next? declairing that we are too emotonal to hold office or vote. While you are at it lets make it if you are not lily white you are only 3/5ths a man.

#1 almost every offices lobby and windows closes before the outgoing truck comes for that days outgoing mail. Even the drop box (aka big blue) in front of the PO is emptied before dispatch time.
The post office uses numerous contractors who bid on mail collection routes. Each of these contractors drives a route in which they pick up bags of mail and packages from various post offices. At the end of their route the contractor drops these directly off at a USPS sorting center or at a large centralized post office which then sends them to a USPS sorting center.
Here all contractor routes converge on a large central post office which relays the mail to a USPS sorting center about 90 miles away.
Each contractor's route takes them hours to finish. Most post offices here close at 5:00pm. Our local post office used to stay open until 4:30pm until hours were shortened to noon during postal cutbacks under Obama. After the hours were shortened a different contractor was used to pick up the mail.
You stated that most post office lobby windows close before the outgoing truck comes for the mail. That would mean that a contractor would have to arrive at the first post office on his route after 5:00pm. He would then need to visit every post office further down his route at increasingly later times after 5:00 pm. That would mean the contractor would arrive at the post office near end of the route late into the evening.
That is not how it works! There are no postal employees waiting at these post offices until late in the evening. The go home within minutes of the post office's regular hours.
How it actually works is that the contractor starts his route earlier in the day. His route is arranged so that he can visit the last post office on his route and it will still be open by the time of his arrival. That means he is picking up mail from the first post office on his route hours before it closes and the last post office near its closing.
This also means that there is also going to be various quantities of leftover mail at post offices on the route. It all depends on how many customers visit each post office after the contractor has picked up the mail. Post offices earlier in the route have a higher chance of having more leftover mail and those last in the route having a lower chance of having leftover mail as the contractor arrives closer to post office's closing hours. This leftover mail is collected during the next day.
The post office is not sending individual trucks to thousands of post offices just before they close! Nor are postal employees staying at postal facilities for hours after they close to the public just to wait for a contractor to pick the mail up.
How could you get something so fundamental so wrong if you actually work for USPS?
I can only imagine what you would do with stories from the old timers I talked to at stamp club back in the 1970s & early 1980s. Some of these guys worked for the post office when they used trains for mail. There would be 4-5 mail trains per day at the depot in a city of 30,000, requiring them to go down to the depot each time and transport the items to the post office. Some of the tiny towns in which trains didn't stop all the time, or not at all, used mail cranes. There was leftover mail at post offices then, as there is now, because that is how transportation works!
