Is this a two way street? Will Facebook show “related news” to left-wing news stories? You can be sure it won’t. As this article makes clear, Facebook’s “fact-checkers” are all leftist ideologues who consider facts that the left hates (such as news about jihad activity) to be “fake news.” This is just more of the large-scale program to shut down all voices that dissent from the hard-left line.
“Facebook Will Auto-Load Related Headlines to Debunk ‘Fake News,’” by Charlie Nash, Breitbart, August 4, 2017 (thanks to Todd):
Facebook is rolling out a “related articles” section that will appear below popular stories and those that are deemed to be “fake news,” according to a report.
Story continues below advertisementShared articles that Facebook’s fact-checking partners deem to be fake news will now include links to the fact-check below the post.
“Appearing before someone reads, Related Articles will surface links to additional reporting on the same topic to provide different view points, and to truthiness reports from the fact checkers,” reported TechCrunch. “If users see drastically different angles when they compare a story to its Related Articles, they might deem it suspicious and skip it, be less likely to believe or share it, or could click through the Related Articles and make up their own mind.”
“That could reduce the spread and impact of false news without Facebook itself having to be the honesty police,” they continued. “Related Articles could also balance out some of the radical invective that can subtly polarize the populace.”
The new feature is currently being rolled out in the United States, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
“We don’t want to be and are not the arbiters of the truth. The fact checkers can give the signal of whether a story is true or false,” claimed Facebook’s “News Feed integrity product manager” Tessa Lyons. “The sooner we can get potential false new stories to fact checkers, the sooner that they can review them, and the more we reduce the number of people who are actually exposed to them.”
It is currently unknown as to which fact-checkers Facebook will be using, however it was previously reported they would be working with Politifact, Snopes, and ABC News.
Politifact, which is funded by a Clinton Foundation donor, have shared their own fake news in the past, pulling 2014 fact-check in April after it turned out to be factually incorrect.
The allegedly “neutral” organization also made 13 errors in a single Clinton Cash fact-check, and rated just over 15% of Donald Trump’s campaign claims as true, while marking 51% of Hillary Clinton’s as such, during the 2016 presidential election.
In 2013, the Weekly Standard claimed Politifact “has it out for Republicans,” pointing out that the site overwhelmingly focuses on fact-checking conservatives more than Democrats.
Last year, it was also discovered that alleged Facebook fact-checking partner Snopes employs almost solely far-left fact-checkers.
As previously reported, Snopes fact-checker Arturo R. Garcia openly labels himself as a “progressive,” attempted to compare Trump supporters to racists on Twitter, misattributed a quote about him to Breitbart News, and acts as the editor of “Racialicious” – “A blog about the intersection of race and culture”.
Fellow Snopes fact-checker Bethania Palmer attempted to link Trump to the KKK, defended a racist professor, wrote numerous left-wing articles for Raw Story — including two attempting to associate former Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen K. Bannon to domestic violence and white supremacy — and acts as a contributor for the “progressive” non-profit Truthout….

Basically, Facebook will allow you to see what it deems “proper programming for population control”.

Substitute the word “incestious” for “related”, that would be much more accurate.

When Islam takes over and it will, the flood of powerful and macho Muslim men into the u.s. of a and Europe will put an end to the paractice of homoqueerism and lesboqueerism. Us Muslims will show the infidel women what sex with a real man is like and give them a powerful Muslim orgasm! I can only imagine how greatful the former lesboqueers will be to Allah for bringing Jihad to the great satan! ALLAHU AKBAR!

Be certain to inform your mud whale mother marcy and your aunts that Muslims wouldn’t tolerate having old fat whore biddies running amok in our palatial tents. When they no longer can pull the plow, clean the camel dung from off of our well worn sandals and other such woman’s work chores, then if they’re lucky it’s time for using them as fig tree fertilizer
Islam is the civilized way of life!

islam is soon to be carrion for dung beetles. You fools still live in tents? Drink camel piss and eat carrion, you will die off of you own stupidity. Really, squatting under a pile of dirty rags is “palatial” in islam, what a bunch of grubs you are.

Ugh , your trapsing around in camel dung? What’s wrong with you people? Wake up it’s 2017 not the 7 the century !
Tents? Is this because you ran out of stones? Maybe if you stopped eating ecuting everyone you would have some rocks to build a 7 the century style hut.
You seem perfectly content in your own backward lifestyle, so why leave that positively royal life behind?

Ha ha, if women want to know what sex with a Muslim man is like , all she needs to do is ask a goat a sheep or any barnyard animal.
Your all secretly bi -sexual, but pretend to hate gays. By the way when you muzzies have sex with little boys it’s still considered gay sex…
There are plenty of women in this country that can kick your scummy Muslim a…s…s… All the way back to the cave you crawled out of.
Your not as powerful as you think Satan worshipping creaton!

Google News has elevated all of the left wing fact checkers. I use the personal option that is supposed to ignore them (Snopes, Politifact, etc). It doesn’t work. Every section is loaded with them. I have a section on Sharia. Every day there is a special headline of these left wing sources. “Pravda City” Any left wing media always goes to the top of the section. I put in a section on “left wing fact checkers”. What I got was not newsbusters but the same fact checkers that I had downgraded trashing the same conservative sources. And the conservative articles were buried.

The time has come for all FB members that are still American Patriots to delete their FB Page & membership in this MUSLIM LOVERS club! Zuckerberg is NOTHING without Facebook and their leftist CENSORS to go! END this FACEBOOK CRAP once and for all! HEIR Zuckerberg needs to be arrested for Sedition and trying to over throw our government! He deserves to be at GitMO or in a Max Prison without computer rights! OR, we could just hang his traitorous ass!

The real shame is so much young talent out there focusing on bitcoin and anonymous instead of joining forces and building awesome alternate free search engines and social media platforms.
I predicted back in the early millennium that the internet would be taken over by big conglomerates back then I would use five different search engines to find stuff now there all compromised and everyone including me use google as what’s the choice now?
There are some alternatives but the fact they haven’t taken off like Facebook shows that Facebook and it’s beginnings is just a lie Facebook is more of a plant in society and what we know about it is just a cover story and Zuckerberg like Elon Musk are just actors to sell the NWO and get everybody on board.
The mass media was constantly spruiking Facebook, YouTube and google to computer illiterates and now you know why.

I don’t understand Zuckerberg, does he really think the muslums will be any better than the nazis once they take power? Does he think the f’ing muslums wouldn’t initiate Holocaust Part Deux in Israel if they had half a chance of succeeding?

If we don’t have our enemies then we can’t figure out who are friends. Facebook makes it easy to figure out who is who.
