Blacklisters at Microsoft’s NewsGuard Still Label Most Debunked Russia Hoaxes as ‘Credible’

NewsGuard, the blacklisting arm of Microsoft, is still deliberately misleading Americans into believing debunked Russia Collusion Hoax headlines are credible.

On Monday, Breitbart News reported on the top 51 debunked Russia Collusion Hoax stories spread by the establishment media over the last few years. A spot check of the first 12 stories on that list shows that the NewsGuard’s seal of approval — a big, green checkmark — still appears next to almost all of those stories!

The blacklisters at NewsGuard argue that it is not signing off on individual stories. Rather, it only signs off on the news outlets publishing those individual stories. But as you can see in the screengrabs above, that is disingenuous. That big, green checkmark of approval still sits next to some of the most misleading stories in history and it is deliberately placed next to the hoax headline — not the outlet.

This is an obvious attempt to mislead causal news readers into believing proven lies about President Trump are true.

Some of these stories might have been updated, but their misleading headlines remain and each of these stories should have been retracted, not spun into “almost true” or merely amended but still loaded with provably false insinuations.

Accepting money in exchange for making claims one knows is not true is fraud and should be prosecuted.

The Russia hoax is going down in history as the biggest fraud ever perpetrated upon the American public

it’s not over yet because of course Trump is still president and the Democrats are still trying to act like it’s a live girl rather than a dead boy

but the story is starting to be ready to be really written and exposed
