Notice how whenever there is ‘progressive’ stories there will never be an area to comment?
I guess they are tired of being ROASTED in their own web space.

Enough of this ‘teaming up’ to be the arbiters of ‘news’. We are adults. We have an internet that can check things for ourselves. Like when CBS edits out unfortunate words from a Bill Clinton interview. We don’t need the guardians anymore.

They’re trying their hardest to strip the 1st Amendment from the people. They forget that the 2nd is in place to protect the 1st.

From a different article:
Our founding members, from different organisations and projects, are each dedicated to raising awareness and improving standards around the use of content sourced from the social web. They are Bellingcat, Eyewitness Media Hub, Emergent, Meedan, Reported.ly, Storyful and Verification Junkie.
I consider myself to be reasonably caught up on the Interwebs, and I have never heard of any of these sites. Care to bet that all of them are 100% liberal? And including Buzzfeed? Yikes.

Handing over the power to control what information people are exposed to to some small group is a recipe rather than the cure for fake information...its proper remedy is to get better information out there to expose the fakes.

Facebook FB -1.15% , the worlds largest social media network with about 1.7 billion users each month, has been criticized for its role in spreading fake stories and misinformation. Fake information goes viral on Facebook because those that realize its a hoax can't do anything but add a comment on the copy of the post that they saw. While many more people just hit "share" without checking its veracity because the meme validates something they feel strongly about....and the report that its a hoax does not go forward with the meme.
On Reddit, fake stories get identified and down-voted by the users.

Those large organizations can’t censor the internet. They can agree on a consistent telling of the news, that’s all. Am I correct here?
Anyway, I’d rather have an internet that’s half fake and half real than one that’s all fake.
Even those reporters/presenters that try to get it right don’t always get it right. In many cases there is no agreed-upon “right”. You need multiple perspectives.

There is nothing wrong with your Twitter feed. Do not attempt to adjust the content. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper... sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your Twitter feed...
