Facebook is displaying a link to Wikipedia’s smear-job description of Breitbart News next to all Breitbart articles shared on the site. The linked Wikipedia article describes Breitbart as a “far-right site” that publishes “falsehoods, conspiracy theories, and intentionally misleading stories.” The social network, which has been under pressure from Democrats and the mainstream media since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, has added a button marked “about this article” next to all posts linking to Breitbart News pieces on the site. Currently only viewable for American users, the button brings up a pop-up screen that displays Wikipedia’s misleading description of Breitbart News.

...yes, and put suckerberg out of business.
I wish I had the dough to get it started.
AND- Let’s put NPR and PBS out of business immediately - excuse me, I mean Congress needs to stop tax-payer funded support for them. IF they go out of business, fine.
Let the free market work.
I like the meme that Facebook is the new cigarettes. (Credit to a Freeper unknown )
It WOULD be dismantled if we, the conservative right would just STOP GOING TO IT
STOP
GOING
TO
IT
But we can’t seem to stop going ! Let it be a leftist echo chamber. It’s clear that everything we do there is only used against us - like when we argue with a gun-grabber and give them any truth... It doesn’t turn them around to the right way of thinking, it just gets used against us in their own agenda.
If every conservative would just stop going there and let it become a leftist echo chamber it will fall apart. It will be as popular as Democraticunderground.
Jack Dorsey, Twitter.
I use it for mundane things like movie or album data.
Wicked-pedia was founded by anti-theists. It is deliberate propaganda.
Ironically, since they share ideological leftism, academics despise it, since it is edited by non-vetted non-academics.
Communists always hate competition from other communists. Elitists love their elitism. Ask Trotsky.
If Breitbart’s lawyers aren’t drawing up a defamation or unfair trade practices lawsuit, they need new lawyers.
I can’t recall ever reading something on Breitbart that was not true.
but at least they’re working on behalf of Obamacare, uh, wait, what?
Facebook sent a doctor on a secret mission to ask hospitals to share patient data

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
Right. It is deliberate under the aegis of “It is edited and corrected by the collective”.
And that is precisely the issue right there.
