I find this media “story” to be Fake News.

So like any story for example that questions climate change even tangentially kind of “fake”?

"...Facebook is partnering with the Associated Press, ABC News, and Snopes..."

And there you have it. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it, but there it is. Snopes of all things. That tells you all you need to know.

Zuckerberg doesn’t deserve this much power. He just happened to steal a good idea

Free speech will not be stifled and the market is clamoring for a new “go-to” social media site

Most likely off-shore and away from the reach of the oligarchy

Then the NY Times must be first on his list of banned websites.

I hope Brent is right. But of course these leftist “fact” checkers are going to brand anything with a conservative viewpoint as “patently false”.

New Zuckerpedia entry:

Fake News: Patently Flase News Stories as well as stories that clearly violate the Politically Correct Terms and the Politically Correct Conditions of Facebook.

They are going after the Macedonians first. Legimate partisan news is okay for now.

Never trust a Secular Progressive Capo! They are nearly as bad as Muslims when it comes to lying.

“I will accept in good faith his commitment to address our concerns on this matter,”

Sorry, Zuckerberg squandered any “good faith” he might have had long ago.

Would they classify a story claiming that "the Obama presidency was scandal-free" as "patently false"?

Would they classify a story claiming "our government planned 9/11" as "patently false"?

“his express aim is to eliminate only patently false news...”

Yeah,,,thats how all censorship starts...

Facebook can do what it wants...its dead to me anyway...but don’t pretend you will get a pass, Bozell...or anyone else from any rightwing leaning site.

This is just a grab for your free speech...

I have only seen one fake news story (except of course all the stories in the MSM every day), the one about Michael Brown, FBI Agent, Murder/Suicide/Fire in Walkerville, MD, reported in the Denver Guardian, reported about 11/4 or 11/5. Turned out to be a fake paper, only had a few web pages, and no person of that name lived in the town, town spelled wrong, no fire, etc. That was true Fake News.

Dear Mr. Bozell: Please tell us you are not that stupid as to believe Zuckerberg.
