Facebook Dumps 'Fake News' Patrol After Spectacular Backfire https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-27/facebook-dumps-fake-news-patrol-after-spectacular-backfire Facebook has abandoned it's fake news 'fact checkers' program to label articles reviewed by Snopes and Politifact as 'disputed,' after the program backfired a little over a year after inception. Te company pointed to a slowdown in news flow, the fact that stories were required to be deemed "false" before earning a "disputed" label, and because many people were instead drawn to clicking on the articles in question... Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg says they are a technology company who doesn't hire journalists - so, you know, whoops?

Perhaps Facebook also realized that Snopes - run by a bunch of degenerates, has a long history of liberal bias? Last year they were dressed down by the Daily Caller in a fascinating Exposé - featuring evidence of Snopes' liberal bias, several instances of flat out lies, and insight into the individual opinions of the militantly liberal fact checkers who love insulting conservatives.![]() Let's also remember that Snopes co-founder David Mikkelson, pictured above to the left of the morbidly obese cat - cheated on wife Barbara Mikkelson with the literal prostitute and Snopes administrator pictured in the frame below; taking her on expensive vacations around the world using (allegedly) embezzled Snopes funds while banging her like a steel drum. He then married her despite the fact that she had a website devoted to being a whore and is "past her time as an adult model." Meanwhile, Politifact is riddled with propaganda. They are incredibly biased, funded by a Clinton Foundation donor, and not even close to being qualified to sit on an exclusive panel of Facebook "FAKE NEWS" judges. Worst. Thought police. Ever. |
