So, Soros-funded libs at SNOPES, and Clinton-Connected "Journo-list"'ers at ABC News will be the final arbitrators of what Facebook determines to be "Fake News".

What could possibly be wrong with such "Fair-minded" people judging what is newsworthy, and what isn't?

This is called CENSORSHIP, folks!

If they actually fact checked and blocked fake news, what would there be left to show as trending? Probably more free space to fill with ads.

Well, once you’re publically assisting Merkel in Genocide, what’s a little censorship?

Does anybody actually read facebook for news? I personally don’t read face book ever for anything.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard of FB deleting and censoring pro-conservatives news and ideas...

And now this? The censorship will only get worse. And the fake news (climate change and all that BS) will get worse.

Why?
Let people decide what news they believe from what sources.

Otherwise you have censorship in the news by a shadowy organization, which is a lot worse and a lot more dangerous.

...Facebook is going to use Snopes and other fact checkers to combat fake news...

Liberals using liberal fake fact checkers to check facts..
That’s really funny.

The Lying Left trying to distract from their media barrage of constant lies wants to shift attention to what the Left calls “Fake News” which is whatever the Left says it is. The Left itself is fake and everything they do is fake, Forgetabout the Fake Left and their attempted Fakeouts.

Facebook should skip the middle-men and have the Democratic National Committee be their sole source of news!

Who uses facebook for news anyway? Of course, I can’t stand facebook. I get on only when I absolutely have to.

They could start by refusing to take fake click-bait ads. Every time I go to that website there is an ad telling me someone like Mel Gibson or Clint Eastwood or Tiger Woods has died, just to try to get me to click.

SNOPES has lost all credibility as fact checker... the spin they use, especially on things political, is mind boggling.

Yes, and it's also called having the fox guard the hen house.

I despise Zuckerberg. Maybe it’s because he is Jewish but also an atheist. A Jewish man who denies the role G-d has played in the history of his people is a supreme idiot, IMHO.
