An Arab proverb of unknown origin states, “The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.” It nicely summarizes how those who can, do, while those who cannot whine about it. Such is the case with Poynter’s self-proclaimed fact-check regarding the Supreme Court’s overturn via Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization of Roe v. Wade.
