Google Partners with Soros-Funded Fact-Checking Service to Fight ‘Fake News’
breitbart.com ^ | 10/27/17 | Lucas Nolan

Google is partnering with the International Fact-Checking Network, an organization run by the George Soros-funded Poynter Institute.

Engadget reports that Google will be working with the Soros-funded Poynter Institute and the International Fact-Checking Network as the tech giant ramps up efforts to prevent the spread of misinformation and “fake news.” The IFCN runs an annual fact-checking conference, funds fellowships, and trains fact-checkers. The group is also responsible for a number of guidelines and code of principles accepted by a wide range of media companies worldwide.

Google’s partnership with the IFCN has three main aims: increasing the number of fact-checkers reviewing information, expanding the IFCN’s current code of principles in new regions, and offering free fact-checking tools to Google users to verify the information that they find on Google’s search engine.

EVERYTHING is right.

And McCain’s a ringleader. That POS

What a disappointing and horrifying end to what could have been a distinguished life.

Speaking of George Soros, as a side note to this thread, has anybody heard anything from the White House about the status of the Soros / terrorist petition?

Fake fact-checkers checking fake-news sources? What could possibly go wrong?

CNN’s “Banana Commercial”

CNN: It’s not a 🍌 or an 🍎. It’s a steaming pile.

Thanks, ColdOne--I was wondering what good search engine I should switch to.

You will like it. They do not track you searches either. No adds, just search.

Ha PDJT tweeted called out Soros a single time? I do not know why not...

Anyone input on this? Am I wrong?

Meanwhile, in the campaign to eliminate gossip and rumor-mongering in the offline world, the US has signed on to the Berkley Accord. The Accord will be administered by National Endowment for Wayward Speech’s Public Eradication by American Know-how, also known as NEWSPEAK.

It will be double plus good.

And we WON the presidency and have the house and senate and more than half the time the SCOTUS now.


Well, they sure let us think it, anyway.

What are they going to do when people won’t listen to them at all?. Their viewership and readership are at all time lows.

Fact checkers are themselves biased.
Liberals lie, they don’t check, so it isn’t flagged as false. Conservative statements vetted against liberal sources, listed as partially to totally untrue per liberal bias.

Who’s Checking the Fact Checkers?
A new study sheds some light on what facts the press most likes to check.

is it the ODD man/woman that runs for office to do good or is it that the person who wants power that runs for office is the norm?

And do the good ones get corrupt before the first year is up?

Only billionaires allowed to run for high office:

During the election I started some of those conversations. Trying to get across to people that billionaires ARE less desperate for cash and don’t end up prostituting themselves and in debt to special interests.

Frankly, in founding days, also, only the big farmers or other wealthy had the chance to sit and think about great things like freedom and democracy. You need leisure time in order to be free.

Usually, those “poor people” who make it big in leadership have first made some success out of their economics. No one very poor has the margin in their life to run for President. On Shark Tank all the sharks are said to have started from very humble beginnings.
