All to defend NeverTrump's "True Conservative" candidate -- Joe Biden.
I think NeverTrump has now finally dropped the mask and admitted they have always been pro-choice, but just muttered false claims about being pro-life to, as usual, Con the Rubes.
Do you remember -- Steven Hayes also had some kind of FaceBook-affiliated Fact-Checker at the Weekly Standard? Someone who was added late in the game, in the Weekly Standard's End of Days period?
When the Weekly Standard was scrabbling to get higher traffic numbers?
Remember when that guy claimed it was false to say that George Soros helped the Nazis catalogue art looted from Jews, despite the fact that Soros casually admits that in a 60 Minutes interview?
That guy claimed that some biographer "doubted" the story. The story told by George Soros himself. And this biographer's word should be treated as more authorative than... George Soros' word.
I believe that biographer was George Soros' pet, employed to clean up some unsavory bits of Soros' past.
Whatever the case, it was insane to "fact-check" Soros' own account of his Nazi collaboration and deem Soros' own words about his life as "false" because a third party remains unconvinced.
But that is the narrative preferred by the left -- given that Soros funds 80% of leftwing organizations.
And so that became the official Weekly Standard fact-check.
And now once again we have a very leftwing false "fact-check" being published by a Steve Hayes-helmed webzine.
And once again: there seems to be some FaceBook connection, that Steve Hayes doesn't want to talk about.
It's all very obscure -- and I think obscured for a reason.
I don't think The Dispatch wants to admit what kind of a side-hustle it has going on with FaceBook.
I don't think it wants to explain how a supposedly "True Conservative" webzine wound up defaming and tortiously interfering with the work of a pro-life group in order to brand it as "partly false" so that FaceBook can then reject the ad.
Facebook censored two advertisements from the pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List's, claiming the videos contained "partly false information" about Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden and VP Nominee Kamala Harris�s views on late-term abortions. The ads, which focus on the Democratic Party's position in support of abortion on demand and up until the moment of birth, were labeled by "independent fact-checkers" who claim to "look carefully into claims from elected officials, reports from the media, and disinformation on social media to help you understand what�s true and what�s not."
The "independent fact-checker," was NeverTrump website, The Dispatch, which labeled the ads as "partly false" because Biden has not explicitly stated that he supports late-term abortions, even though he has repeatedly said he wants no restrictions on "a woman's right" to choose.
"Biden has not expressed support for late-term abortions--which, while not being a medical term, generally refers to abortions performed at 21 weeks or later. And neither candidate has voiced for support for abortion 'up to the moment of birth,'" the fact-check reads.
So Biden can keep saying he opposes any and all restrictions but as long as he avoids saying he supports partial birth abortion -- which he does, or otherwise he'd support some restrictions -- then the leftwing will conduct fraudulent "fact checks" and ban any ads mentioning his support of partial birth abortion.
Publications managed by Steve Hayes have a very strange history of providing left-leaning "fact-checks" which are then seized upon by FaceBook for purposes of suppressing conservative stories and advertisements.
Why is that?
Where is he getting these fact-checkers from?
Does he have an undisclosed partnership with FaceBook regarding these "fact" checkers?
Steve Hayes needs to answer questions about who this "fact-checker" is and if this "fact-checker" is part of the same program that produced the Weekly Standard's "fact-checker," and if this person is paid, either partly or in whole, by FaceBook.
And if FaceBook is providing non-monetary compensation to be part of this program, like giving The Dispatch a sneaky little push out to readers by jiggering around with FaceBook's algorithm.
Hayes needs to clarify exactly how much money, if any, he's getting from FaceBook and why he's not being straight with his other donors -- his non-Tech Monopolist donors, his private individual donors-- about his dealings with FaceBook.
Confirmed: The Dispatch admitted back in June what I was strongly hinting aroud-- that they had "joined" FaceBook's "fact checking" program.
Also known as their Censor Conservative Media program.
All Nazis have collaborators, huh?
I assumed the Weekly Standard did the same thing.
Is this fact-checker's salary being paid, partly or entirely, by FaceBook? And does FaceBook get input into who the fact-checker is?
Sean Davis: "The next time @DavidAFrench condemns pro-life Christians to Hell for voting for Trump, keep in mind that his own publication is colluding with Big Tech to ban pro-lifers from advertising on Facebook. French cares far more about power than the gospel."
Calvin Freiburger: "Funny how among four different types of editors, none of them bear any responsibility when their website publishes fake news."
its the same model as the un using NGOs as the basis for getting things implemented or denied
I thought The Dispatch was Jonah Goldberg’s rag?
Snopes does the same thing, When something they don’t like is true they say mostly false or partly false and use a strawman they associate with it to provide the false aspects of it.
Is that the same thing as the "Party False" in the headline of this thread?
I didn’t even notice the typo in the headline. Good eye.
It’s OK, I used to be a proofreader before there was such a thing as “Spell-check!”
I shouldn’t be pickin on people anymore but sometimes I just cannot help myself and lose all self-control...
It is!
These guys are unbelievable. Traitors!
Last night I watched Rod Dreher promote his book on Joe Scar’s show and David French was on there attacking Trump as if he was the enemy and the liar - when it is them - they are the liars. These elites hate us... the hate the common folk American - and when it is all said and done they think they are going to survive this. Liberalism is going to lock them up too.
