All the "reputable" sources have been shown to be propaganda media - hand selected by FakeBook !
Go figure !!
This is an attempt by Progressive media outlets to take control of the social media platform.
Snopes has been thoroughly discredited as a reliable source. This is a slippery slope toward censorship!
Fascistbook has been altering peoples’ newsfeed and wall content for years.
They do it based on pay-for-play (payola, sometimes tagged as “sponsored” content) basis, ideological basis, and for psychological reasons (e.g. to measure a user’s response to heavily sad, depressing, or angry news).
They do it to control discussion (only Big Media pop stars, Bollywood Hindi pop stars, and NFL + British Soccer stars trend, all Trump news apart from cabinet nominees is negative, details of allegations against Hillary never trend, only the background of those raises alarms...)
Doesn’t matter what sources and topics you thumbs down or hide or report as offensive or unfollow. Also doesn’t matter what posts 80 of your friends all share.
And now even when you opt into following a source, the posts will trend downward (suppressed) and not appear in your newsfeed if Snopes/ABCDisney give it the scarlet letter of FakeNews (Hollywood’s new blacklist).
...... There needs to be a new Conservative and extremely thorough “Fact Checking” Website created that would become the new standard of trusted Fact Checking sites. Making the others look like amateur hour in comparison.
The biggest “fake news” story is the “fake news” story. This has nothing to do with “fake news” and everything to do with the establishment media controlling the narrative on every story. They can’t do that when the alternate media tells the truth.
Once in office Trump is going to have to take action against Silicon Valley to prevent this. Granted that is in conflict with the property rights of private corporations. But the First Amendment is more important.
