Google and Facebook will be working with the mainstream media to tell voters “what and who to trust”, including “memes, comment threads and news sites”, in the lead up to the French elections. The two Tech giants, who have been accused of a “liberal bias”, will set up the “coalition news verification project” with 37 French and international media outlets including the BBC, AFP (Agence France-Presse), and BuzzFeed News.

The so called BBC, the overlord and generator of the Left’s fake news drive towards a Marxist future will be doing all it can to discredit Le Pen in the same way as its non-stop propaganda machine is pumping away against Trump (read David Vincent’s chapter on the BBC in “2030: Your Children’s Future in Islamic Britain” Amazon and Kindle).
