Conservatives Are
Outraged Over
Facebook's Plan
To Use Fact Checkers To Weed Out Fake News

;

Another way to read the headline. Conservatives news is being - labeled as fake by Fakebook.

Leftist activists will be branding everything as "fake" that they don't agree with, even if it is undeniably true.

The protection of the MSM uses is called "absence of malice," - that is, the media can get a report wrong,

[ In Reply To ..]
but unless you can prove that they knew it was wrong and intended to cause harm, they can't be held accountable.

A great movie that shows exactly that point is, oddly enough called "Absence of Malice". Paul Newman gets slimed by the news because he is related to someone that may or may not be a criminal. His revenge is truly sweet!

The difference between "is it accurate?" and "is it true?".

I read something from a journalism professor Matt Waite who - had a prediction following a

[ In Reply To ..]
meetings he took with top journalists about how to restore trust in news. It ended:

"You won’t fix the belief that trust and fake news is Google and Facebook’s problems and not yours because…

You still don’t believe you’re the problem. Wake me when you do.

The lack of trust in the media — the problem that only 6 percent of Americans feel they can truly trust the media — is not a problem of fake news. It’s a problem of the mainstream media, not a couple of random suburban hoaxsters trying to make a quick buck."

Yesterday on the Rush I heard a guy call in - basically saying we don't need the left.

[ In Reply To ..]
Capitalists don't need socialists, but what's scary is everybody the left has realized they need us to pay for their socialism. They couldn't survive without the hard work of everybody on the right.

Rush said...I want to bring your example to life. We've got two reality shows. We got a bunch of conservatives on an island and they know self-reliance and they know production, and they know the idea of incentive as motivation. On the other reality show, you have a bunch of liberals on an island, and there's no golden goose there. There's nobody out producing wealth. There's nobody creating anything that can be taxed or transferred. There's nothing that can be redistributed."

The Pilgrims tried it and it didn't work.

See, THAT'S what's wrong with the US party - system: "us" vs "them".

As long as they keep us fighting each other, they have free rein to do whatever they want. And what they want is to just keep on raking in the money.

This facebook overrreach is going to hurt them. - Politifact is another joke.

They shouldn't be trusted with anything.

Problem is, when is the last time the right side - has posted any truth?

[ In Reply To ..]
Do they even have any concept of what truth is? Doesn't seem that way.

This is from the same source you cite - fake news

This is from the same source you cite.

I'd say you are on a fake news site.

More manure, dirt and lies from lefties - Surely there are better things to do, no?

What a way to spend a day searching for manure to spread and digging dirt to post on MTStars.

Pitiful simply pitiful spreading FAKE NEWS.

I like what Denzel Washington said to some snarky CNN reporter. - She asked him about fake news

[ In Reply To ..]
expecting him to reply with the usual ring wing bashing. He said...

What is the long-term effect of too much information? One of the effects is the need to be first, not even to be true anymore. So what a responsibility you all [in the media] have... to tell the truth, not just to be first, but to tell the truth. We live in a society now where it's just first. "Who cares?" [the media seems to say,] "Get it out there. We don't care who it hurts. We don't care who we destroy. We don't care if it's true. Just say it, sell it."

Journalists bear responsibility to seek first the truth. For better or worse, as consumers of media, we retain the ability to hold journalists accountable through our patronage.

He NAILS it! He clearly has not been infected with Hollywooditis. - Most news sources would rather

be first, then retract or correct their data. Which gives us a LOT of garbage data.

I like Denzel, one of the few who attributes his - success to God.

the self-made millionaire, yet they idealize the ones that made it sucking off the government and dubious foundations.

And they really worship the absolute dictators and Marxist dictators that seized their citizens wealth to amass their billions.

They also worship Hollywood people because they - are oh so smart.

[ In Reply To ..]
And if the Hollywood types are millionaires, that's okay because they worked for it (off the backs of the idiots who pay $15 to see a film).

I actually haven't been here in a while. I will not feed the trolls. The best thing to do with a troll is to ignore her. They hate being ignored. :-)

states and counties that breed your basic bible-thumpin', gun-totin', flag-wavin', Republican-votin' Murikan. They can't get enough of the Enquirer, People Mag, Access Hollywood, and all that other drivel. But heaven help everyone if one of their TV "idols" has the brains and the morals not to believe all that rubbish.

10 fake news reports over the last 60 years from the MSM.

I appreciate people who offer analysis instead of opinion, which is what news is no.

The most current. Russians hacked our election. FAKE. - No proof, just accusations.

[ In Reply To ..]
MSM trying to overturn an election. It started with some group by Van Jones for the Clintons.

Benghazi was about a You Tube video.

Unemployment is under 10%.

The economy is GREAT

If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

I still run into leftists who believe that Sarah Palin said that she can “see Russia from her front porch”, (SNL skit)and to top that off, they don’t know that you actually CAN see Russia from Alaska. They are stunned when I tell them and I have to show them pictures for them to believe it.

Julian Assange said it was not the Russians, even Loretta Lynch - is even coming clean. Many

people believe the leak came from someone in the DNC, a Bernie Sanders' supporter. An inside job.

I don't believe the CIA, they've been politicized. - FBI said this wasn't the Russians.

The FBI does believe they ha e proof that it was the Russians...sm - VTMT

who did the hacking, just don't think they have enough to say it was to say it was to.get Trump elected, maybe just to cause havoc in the U.S. election. Either way, it was wrong and no American should be defending Russia's actions.

You know how you do that. If you want to stir up trouble for your enemy you report a small picture of something that happened without reporting the facts surrounding the big story. You pick and choose what you want to report and eliminate what may be relevant to the story and only blast a damning headline regarding your political enemy. So boring it is no longer worth the time to watch these politicians verbally sparring spewing half truths. Watching this political crap ...

Fake news is profitable. The New York Times hit piece on the Comey memo earned the paper its most concurrent readers per second.

The man came out today to let all the MSM know that he will not accept any lies about anything or fake stuff being marketed by MSM as the truth.
