Left-wing website Slate should be the final arbiter of what is or not “fake news,” according to left-wing website Slate.

The site, which itself has a questionable track record, announced the launch of a Chrome extension that will alert readers if they are reading something deemed “fake news” by Slate. The announcement comes less than a week after Slate ran a story deemed “ridiculous and false” by CNN anchor Jake Tapper.

That story, titled “Kellyanne Conway Suggests Men Don’t Want Their Wives to Work in the White House,” twisted Conway’s words to fit a narrative.

Spaking of “fake,” quit spamming threads with click bait to take people to your website. Your history is full of your spam. And nice inoculation attempt/head fake on your home page, where you set up a fake “This account has been banned or suspended.” notice. But if someone clicks the “Okay” button it takes them to your fake poll site.

Abuse button hit. I suggest other freepers do the same.
