Fascistic Facebook conspires with Media Matters to crush real news
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/26/17 | Matthew Vadum

Media Matters has glommed on to the Left's current obsession with so-called fake news

Another spectacular scoop from the brilliant Lachlan Markay at Washington Free Beacon: Markay reports that Facebook’s anti-“fake news” censorship efforts are being driven by the George Soros-funded slander shop Media Matters for America.

Markay writes:

Media Matters told current and prospective donors at a retreat in Florida over the weekend that it has been in discussions with Facebook leadership about their policies on inaccurate and partisan news stories on the website that many liberals blame for political losses last year.

What a pair.... Markie Zuckerberg and David Brock.

Truthmeisters of the lowest order.

Make Facebook provide a one-click exit plan.

My data is not open for datamining.

This is great . I hope they all stay the course. Their lack of relevance is becoming so obvious that their demise won’t be able to be reversed.

MAGA

ptsal :" What a pair.... Markie Zuckerberg and David Brock.

David Borkc who's ego is larger than the entire DemoRATIC party coffers , and refuses to accept that he lost the election,
And little "Markie" the Estate Builder and colonial ruler of Hawaii, who doesn't believe in walls, except around his own, and other peoples, property.
It just goes to show you that money and power can't buy you "class".

Time to order up a round of pizzas for the Democrat party.

Wonder if there is a plane available to deliver the pizzas and hot dogs?

“Farce Book” and “Media Doesn’t Matter” working to make Hillary the next POTUS in 2020, that is what this is all about...

Guess she has had a few blood transfusions and feeling her oats as they say, hopefully she’ll be in a prison cell with the rest of the low life scum around her by 2018!!!

It is very very clear that Media Matters and Correct the Record are just parts of the Democratic Party. See the following quote from the linked story.

“....Brock, founder of the media watchdog Media Matters for America and liberal super PACs American Bridge and Correct the Record, has volunteered himself to lead the reconstruction (of the Democratic Party), vowing to “kick Donald Trump’s ass.”....”

DAVID BROCK Money Laundering Scheme Exposed:
14 Pro-Clinton Super PACs & Non-Profits Implicated
zerohedge.com ^ | Sep 20, 2016 / FR Posted by Helicondelta

David Brock has 7 non-profits, 3 Super PACs, one 527-committee, one LLC, one joint fundraising committee, and one unregistered solicitor crammed into his office in Washington DC.

Uncovered records expose a constant flow of money between these organizations.

The Bonner Group, his professional solicitor, works off a commission. Every time money gets passed around, Bonner receives a 12.5% cut.

Follow the money: Say, for example, you donate $1,062,857 to Media Matters for America. This is how David Brock would have used your charitable donation in 2014:

1- Media Matters would receive your $1,062,857 donation The Bonner Group would earn a $132,857 commission Media Matters would retain $930,000

2- Next, Media Matters would give what’s left of your entire donation, $930,000, to the Franklin Education Forum The Bonner Group would ‘earn’ a $116,250 commission The Franklin Education Forum would retain $813,750

3- The Franklin Education Forum would then forward the remaining $813,750 to The Franklin Forum The Bonner Group would ‘earn’ a $101,718 commission The Franklin Forum would retain $712,031

In the end, Brock’s solicitor would have pocketed $350,825, almost a third of your initial donation! That’s a far cry from the advertised 12.5% commission....more at zerohedge.com

Trump's DOJ needs to investigate this as possible voter fraud:

ITEM---Journalists Dined at Top Clinton Staffers
Homes Days Before Hillary's announcement of her candidacy

Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers

ITEM..... Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.

ITEM---The guest list for an earlier event at the home of John Podesta was limited to reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. --snip--

==============================================

ITEM---Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013.

So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because they’re informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillary’s bidding the whole time.

ITEM----I hope talk hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher, Seth Myers, Trevor Noah and Conan O’Brien have their lawyers on retainer and speed dial.

ITEM....because if the Trump Administration uncovers that the DNC and the Clintons were directly working with any member of media and their writing staff during the 2016 Presidential election, they could be charged with violating Federal election laws.

Scott Adams wrote a blog earlier this week that they should be regulated as a utility. When their censorship of certain viewpoints undermines the very ability to engage in free speech for the public ... they are begging for regulation or at least investigation.

Facebook is absolutely nothing when it comes to legitimate news source. They are truly the National Inquirer of the net. Anyone who takes their manure seriously needs help.

I do not regard Facebook as anything better than a forum for cat pictures, images of food and fake left wing news.

In short, it is a trivial organiztion and service which simply sucks.
