No problem. I see lots of people on Facebook now going around to the stories from ABC, NBC, CNN labeling them FAKE NEWS in the comments. We all can play this game.

Understand what is happening folks.

ANYTHING not approved by MediaMatters.Soros will now be considered as “Fake News”.

I wonder for how long this policy will survive past 1/20/2017?

The President has no say over such a policy implemented by a private company, nor should he.

The news media, hollywood, and big, leftist companies like google and facebook will switch their efforts to de-legitimize Trump into overdrive following January 20th. He'll just have to deal with it like every conservative president for the past several decades.

Prediction:
This will roll out and be active for about 6 months.

The backlash will be so phenomenal that Facebook will pull the plug.

Ohh, this will be fun!

We will be able to test their sincerity when they start labeling the Russian hacking business as fake.

Honestly, unless there are links to raw documents, I don’t trust any web site for their “unbiased reporting”.

On the left fringe you have WaPo and their ridiculous “fake News / Russia” garbage, on the right you have #pizzagate.

I haven’t dug deeply in either one because within 5 minutes of research, you can easily point how they are both so speculative, and have no hard evidence.

Liberals LOVE censorship because their ideas are so easy to show as bullsh*t.

Liberals are the most greedy, fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, child-abusing, amoral, stupid, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, communist, vote-rigging, vulgar, dirty, smelly, election-rejecting, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, poo-flinging, cop-killing, and scared little lying thumb-sucking idiots God has ever created.

Get the popcorn ready.

They’re going to label something ‘fake news’ and then get sued for defamation.

And the opposite too: they’re going to miss labeling a story about some quack cure as ‘fake’ and get sued by someone who believed it.

Soon Facebook will be as unreliable as the news they’re trying to control.

There is more than slant though. Sure leftists fact-checkers will too often label something that is spot-on as wrong because it violates their PC world view. But just because something is conservative leaning it doesn’t make me want to read it. There is some BS out there by click bait scammers that cater to conservatives as well all other kinds of audiences.

I hope they start labelling POLLS as fake news.

If a pollster asks a silly question, then posts AS NEWS the collective answer to the silly question, then that’s BS. They aren’t reporting news. They are creating a little story and reporting the results as news.

"And conservatives can use it to rightfully brand the propaganda outlets like MSNBC, ABC, etc. Double edged sword."

I would not be surprised if they wrote the program so as to prevent stories from those sites from being tagged as fake.
