Snopes, PolitiFact, and FactCheck.Org Deployed by Facebook to CRUSH Conservative News Sites

THE CRUSH ON CONSERVATIVE NEWS SITES IS COMING!
FACEBOOK IS PREPARING TO DEPLOY FACT CHECKERS TO MUZZLE ANY CONSERVATIVE NEWS THAT DOES NOT FIT THE LIBERAL NARRATIVE. THEY WILL BE FACT CHECKING TO SUPPRESS FAKE NEWS. THEIR DEFINITION OF FAKE NEWS WILL BE ENTIRELY SUBJECTIVE AND DECIDED BY SUCH GEORGE SOROS BACKED ENTITIES AS SNOPES.COM, POLITIFACT, AND FACTCHECK.ORG.
As Written By Warner Todd Hutson for Constitution:
With the left’s newest war cry of “fake news” now always at the ready to deploy as a weapon to quash any right of center news outlet, Facebook has announced that it will use three left-of-center organizations to “review” conservative sites to see if they are producing “fake news.”
So, what could go wrong? Plenty.
Facebook insists it is doing its part to torpedo those “fake news” sites that so many liberals claim gave Trump the White House. But this is all just a smoke screen.
In fact, this effort has nothing whatever to do with making sure “news” is truthful. All it really is, is just another attempt by liberals to re-instate their once indisputable status as the “gatekeepers” of the media, an assumption that created a screening process through which only their approved, liberal “news” could get past. It was this “gatekeeping” wall that caused the loss of Vietnam, for instance, as the entirety of the liberal media lied to Americans that the war was lost and the U.S. should get out of Vietnam despite that the U.S. military won nearly every engagement it ever entered into during that conflict.
Facebook is being fueled by calls from such losers as Hillary Clinton who wants to quash the “fake news” that got Trump elected. Early in December, the two-time losing Democrat presidential candidate delivered a speech assailing “malicious” fake news hyperbolically claiming that its growth has “put lives at risk.”
And so, according to The Wall Street Journal, “Facebook said it has identified several markers of sites that consistently peddle fake news, and it will demote posts from those sites in people’s news feeds.”
BUT THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANT IS NOT QUITE SETTING ITSELF UP AS THE SOLE ARBITER OF WHICH CONSERVATIVES SITES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ANY LIST OF LEGITIMATE NEWS SOURCES.
IT IS ALSO ELICITING THE HELP OF THREE LIBERAL “FACT CHECKING” GROUPS TO HELP OUT.
“The fact-checking organizations — Snopes.com, PolitiFact, ABC News, Factcheck.org and the Associated Press — will sift through the problematic stories to determine if they are fake,” the Journal reported.
Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg, a huge donor to Hillary Clinton and a well-known left-winger who pushes illegal immigrant “rights,” posted about his company’s new policy on Thursday saying in part, “Facebook is a new kind of platform different from anything before it. I think of Facebook as a technology company, but I recognize we have a greater responsibility than just building technology that information flows through.”
