So this is what I find this morning!

Don't recall my posting but I was responding to something about Trump Trains!

must be signatories of the International Fact-Checking Network and follow their Code of Principles.

Honest to goodness, this sounds like a cross between something out of 1984 and a Monty Python sketch. Do these rubes realize how silly they sound?

You probably dared to post the video of the white SUV driven by the Biden campaign staffer swerving into the Trump supporters pickup truck, following behind the Biden/Harris bus in Texas.

Their narrative was the pickup truck "rammed" the SUV, when the video clearly showed the SUV pull into the truck's lane on top of the pickup.

However, in Facebook-fantasyland, you're missing "context".

I reckon they haven’t caught up to me, yet.

I’ve been plastering that [and lots of other anti-Pedo Joe stuff] non-stop.

When they “fact check” me, I just make a screen cap of it and post that along with whatever I put up and we all laugh about it.

They actually think we’re listening to their crap.

Social media "fact checkers" ??? Ha! More like "guardians of the leftist messaging" or "agenda re-enforcement department."

This guy nails it re: "fact checkers."

Facebook ‘fact checked’ my post about Hnter B!den that showed him in bed with a crack pipe.

They said it was “mostly false”.

And when I clicked on the link to find out why, it said it was a “Meth Pipe”

That’s some solid fact checking. A crack pipe and a meth pipe are the same thing- did they call and ask him if he was smoking crack or meth?

Remember previous threads

Facebook hires Chinese Nationals to fact check.

All fact-checkers who partner with Facebook must be signatories of the International Fact-Checking Network and follow their Code of Principles.

This is the modern equivalent of paying the fee and having your name printed in “Who’s Who”.

Contrary to popular opinion, fact checking is a necessary societal function. However, fact checking is ultimately up to the courts.

A libel lawsuit is a plea to a court to fact check published material which, the plaintiff claims, is false and damages the plaintiff’s reputation.

We need more of that kind of fact checking - a half-century after the Sullivan decision which inhibits libel suits by Republican (Democrats don’t get libeled) officials, the MSM (which existed even back then) has completely gone ballistic.
