Facebook Labels All Breitbart Stories ‘Intentionally Misleading’ with Wikipedia Pop-Up
breitbart ^ | ALLUM BOKHARI

Posted on 04/05/2018 1:59:18 PM PDT by davikkm

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.

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.

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.

Right. It is deliberate under the aegis of “It is edited and corrected by the collective”.

And that is precisely the issue right there.
