Well, that would mean most of the MSM should be downgraded or off Facebook. Wouldn’t that be nice.

So everything that is associated with a Soros funded organization or agency will be flagged as fake news, yes?

No Progressive bias there.

Doesn’t Facebook already censor and delete pro conservative news and commentary?

Drudge, Fox News, Brietbart and so on will be on the ‘fake news’ list.

Yet another reason why I never signed up for FB, and I never will.

Reason 217 why I never visit Facebook. Most “fake news” is readily apparent to folks with average amounts of common sense. They don’t need a Facebook filter.

The notion that there is this outpouring of fake news is itself false. It is a lie.

Facebook now flags and down-ranks fake news with help from outside fact checkers [eg snopes]

And i'm sure the "Southern Poverty Law Center" collection of lying kookbats will also be added to the list.

>>"fact checking services that adhere to Poynter’s International Fact Checking Code of Principles. These include non-partisanship and fairness; transparency of sources, methodology, and funding; and a commitment to corrections."

And yet they choose Snopes and ABC...

That creepy, nerdy, pimply, emasculated, warped boy is going to censor our news through his little tiny collectivist brain? LOL

We really need to destroy these evil Marxist “gatekeepers” who “think” they have the Right to control what we know.

As Wittgenstein noted-—whoever can control our information/Words—will be able to control our perceptions of Reality. It is VERY DANGEROUS to let ANYONE control our information.

It has been done for 100 years —we had an evil elite who has controlled our information until the internet which broke the stranglehold so truth could finally dribble through the cracks.

It is why government has to be OUT of education-—they are deliberately destroying the Minds of children with their programming of lies and misinformation to destroy the ability for children to have agency and think for themselves. Schools no longer give the tools to “think critically” which is ONLY Classical Christian curricula-—all else is irrational, removed from Science and Logic and all about “feelings’/subjective—like that worthless, evil, man-hating department “women’s studies” which only teaches women to despise males and hate the Natural Family and kill their own genetic offspring.

I think Facebook will put an end to this on January 20, 2017. Why? Because Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t want the Department of Justice asking tough questions on whether the News Feed has been “tweaked” to favor Leftist topics—a practice that may date back in 2011 after that private dinner meeting with President Obama and his senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.

Who actually gets their news from Facebook? I follow friends and family and laugh at their pictures and comments. I do not EVER get national/political news from FB.

Soros-funded Snopes to gets to decide what views can be posted on the Internet.

Hilarious! Liberals now get to decide what is news.
