I stand by my comment.
I don't believe that this news is true.
I think Facebook is the last place I would ever use to find news. In fact it is the last place I would use for anything. The internet has always been wild and wooly as it should be. Leave it alone.
I would expect nothing less.
And the rest of you are all about the messenger rather than the message.
Soros Finances Group Helping Facebook Flag ‘Disputed’ Stories
I'm really glad the Obama, Hillary, and the rest will be wandering in the political forest for the foreseeable future, or they would have surely given these "one truth'ers" enforcement privileges. I hope Facebook is smarter than this. I never went to face book for news in the first place, and I wouldn't know where to find "news". This is really stupid. California stupid. That special stupid that they get in this state that they seem to think everyone agrees with them. Facebook is going to get burned and spit roasted.
And Breitbart is funded by Robert Mercer.
And Breitbart runs great "news" headlines such as:
Obama Signs Bill Banning Government Use of ‘Negro,’ ‘Oriental’
---- FALSE
Obama: Muslims Built 'The Very Fabric of Our Nation'
---- FALSE
Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy ---- Uhh WTF?
Roger Stone: Huma Abedin ‘Most Likely a Saudi Spy’ with ‘Deep, Inarguable Connections’ to ‘Global Terrorist Entity’ --- Seriously? ****ing crazy conspiracy **** that has routinely found to be FALSE
The Solution To Online ‘Harassment’ Is Simple: Women Should Log Off
--- Yea women! Learn your place, its not on the web!
Trump 100% Vindicated: CBS Reports ‘Swarm’ On Rooftops Celebrating 9/11 --- FALSE
DATA: Young Muslims in the West Are a Ticking Time Bomb, Increasingly Sympathising with Radicals, Terror --- FALSE
Michelle Obama Copied Alinsky in Speech Melania Trump Allegedly Plagiarized
-- FALSE
Secret Hagel Donor?: White House Spox Ducks Question on 'Friends of Hamas' --- FALSE
Obama’s new attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch represented Clintons during Whitewater
-- FALSE
Muslim Prayer Rug Found on Arizona Border by Independent American Security Contractors -- FALSE
See I think the problem Breitbart has with many "fact checking" organizations is because they call the pice of **** clickbait site for what it is, complete bull****
I would expect nothing less.
And the rest of you are all about the messenger rather than the message.
1. A COMMITMENT TO NONPARTISANSHIP AND FAIRNESS
We fact-check claims using the same standard for every fact check. We do not concentrate our fact-checking on any one side. We follow the same process for every fact check and let the evidence dictate our conclusions. We do not advocate or take policy positions on the issues we fact-check.
2. A COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY OF SOURCES
We want our readers to be able to verify our findings themselves. We provide all sources in enough detail that readers can replicate our work, except in cases where a source’s personal security could be compromised. In such cases, we provide as much detail as possible.
3. A COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY OF FUNDING & ORGANIZATION
We are transparent about our funding sources. If we accept funding from other organizations, we ensure that funders have no influence over the conclusions we reach in our reports. We detail the professional background of all key figures in our organization and explain our organizational structure and legal status. We clearly indicate a way for readers to communicate with us.
4. A COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY OF METHODOLOGY
We explain the methodology we use to select, research, write, edit, publish and correct our fact checks. We encourage readers to send us claims to fact-check and are transparent on why and how we fact-check.
5. A COMMITMENT TO OPEN AND HONEST CORRECTIONS
We publish our corrections policy and follow it scrupulously. We correct clearly and transparently in line with our corrections policy, seeking so far as possible to ensure that readers see the corrected version.

Poynter’s IFCN is also funded by the Omidyar Network, which is the nonprofit for liberal billionaire eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. The Omidyar Network has partnered with the Open Society on numerous projects and it has given grants to third parties using the Soros-funded Tides Foundation. Tides is one of the largest donors to left-wing causes in the U.S.
Another significant Poynter Institute donor is the Craig Newmark Foundation, the charitable organization established by Craigslist Founder Craig Newmark. On Monday, just days before the announcement of the Facebook partnership, Poynter issued a press release revealing that Newmark donated $1 million to the group to fund a faculty chair in journalism ethics.
I sort of get social media, but I still have almost no part in any of it. I don't count this, this is like a public BBS from days of old.
Why does Breitbart count as "mainstream media"? It's just a partisan as **** tabloid rag. The Onion is more accurate than Breitbart.
It's breitbart. If you don't believe it to be true then the odds are in your favor.
I don't determine the truth based upon the source, I'll leave that to the partisans.
Then by all means, enjoy your breitbart.
I wasn't even aware it was Breitbart and it along with the rest of the sources are not mine. Did you comment on the story or are you just a drive-by on mine?
Somebody is awfully thenthative. I said breitbart is unreliable garbage. You said you dont judge sources. I said, enjoy breitbart then. Don't know why that'd piss you off.
Wrong subforum for crap news sources.
I don't determine the truth based upon the source, I'll leave that to the partisans.
You included me on your "attack the messenger" post. I had to look back to all of your posts and I don't see where you say it is unreliable garbage, but I get the hint. As I indicated you are a drive-by on my comment which you clearly didn't understand, which is fine. I assume all sources are suspect so I read and consider those articles for those posts I show interest.
Now please move along and comment to others about your observations on the source and not the content. I'm not interested.
Have a nice day :golf
You should share your approach with conservatives, as studies have found that the Right was FAR MORE likely to absorb and pass on false news than the left during the past election.
Just how partisan is Facebook's fake news? We tested it | PCWorld
Fake news is fake news. What is your point?
That's because your messenger constantly lies.
no worse than salon, dailykos, huffpo, mediamatters, motherjones etc ...
yet I don't see the same level of vitriol slammed at those.
in fact they are posted non-stop by liberals all the time.
