A liberal news site is seeing red after a Facebook fact checker tagged a story as false.

A writer at liberal news site ThinkProgress is outraged that Facebook has labeled an article he wrote about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as “false” based on a fact check by The Weekly Standard.

The article Brett Kavanaugh said he would kill Roe v. Wade last week and almost no one noticed that was censored on FB was false. However, it was not necessary to censor it. Everyone can watch the hearings on youtube or, if you don't like YT, bitchute.

Liberals do not understand the meaning of "LIE".

To them it means "everything we disagree with".

And rather than a little humility for getting caught, the liberal idiots double down.
That’s because for liberals there are no Facts or truth, it’s just all raw hate and emotion.

In addition to the Weekly Standard, other U.S.-based Facebook fact checking outlets, which have to be certified by Poynter, are the Associated Press, Factcheck.org, PolitiFact, and Snopes.com.

How does Politifact, Factcheck and Snopes get on that list? Hell, I have no confidence in the AP being objective.

They banned me in effect 2 years ago because I refused to send my drivers license or passport. Still banned.

They did that to me on one of my accounts, I created a fake NJ driver’s license with all fake info, they actually accepted it. And that was it.

I have many facebook accounts, more fun to play with lefties

Shhhh... If the vindictive basturds find out, that is an actual crime. They don't have any problems with IDtheft if you are illegal though.

I heard (fake news?) that Target is censoring a slew of words in books descriptions, even the word Nazi and replaces them with *(?).

I was interrupted when this was mentioned and didn't get to hear the whole account.

Actually it isn’t a crime, I researched it, fakebook has no authority to check IDs, they are not selling alcohol, plane tickets, porn or anything like that. Presenting a fake ID to a cop or a court is also a crime, so it presenting a fake ID to cash a check or open a bank account.

Fakebook, not a crime, no law requires ID to use fakebook, therefor no crime.

OK, but FB has a lot of money and staff to make my life miserable. Maybe I would win eventually, maybe FB is bluffing.

If you alter the image of a real state ID.... I was thinking, suppose somebody made a bogus $100 bill and got reported to the US Treasury, and said, "I wasn't going to use it....." Somehow I suspect that person would be in trouble.

The crime wouldn't be trying to fool FB, but maybe just the possession of an altered state document.

Currency is a whole different world. A teacher got in trouble for taking a 1 dollar bill, putting her picture and school name on it and printing it on pink paper, It was so modified that you would never believed it was real. It was some sort of award system for her classroom, students would earn them for whatever reasons.

I did it like three or four years ago, so far the Fakebook police haven’t raided my house. And the template I used was the sample driver’s license that the state of NJ publishes so people know what a NJ license looks like. I used Obama’s picture for the picture. I used MS-PAINT as the editor, I copied it on a black and white copier, and then re copied the copy and then did it again. And then I scanned it as a jpeg. It looked like crap, and they accepted it. So the people looking at these have to be idiots in India or someplace.
