Surprise! FaceBook "Independent" Fact-Checker Turns Out to be a Rabid Twitter Supporter of Hillary Clinton

Not just a " " " fact " " " checker either -- this unhinged partisan is also empowered to hire other " "" fact " " "checkers and to make rulings where there's a dispute between fact checkers.

An outspoken Twitter activist critical of Donald Trump who brags about being on "team" Hillary Clinton is the supposedly independent expert in charge of who can become a Facebook fact-checker.

Facebook fact-checkers have extraordinary powers to censor news stories they disagree with, demonetize news organisations and ban news outlets entirely.

The process of becoming a fact-checker is described as "non-partisan" by Facebook but a Sky News Australia investigation has uncovered disturbing evidence of political bias and lack of accountability at the top levels of the certification process.

International Fact-Checking Network certifier and American University School of Communication professor Margot Susca is unashamedly politically biased but she was responsible for issuing 19 fact-check licenses or reviews for organisations to become fact-checkers.

This includes the Associated Press, Check Your Fact, Decrypteurs, Lead Stories, Media Wise and The Dispatch.

Ms Susca has appeared on propaganda network Russia Today to criticise President Trump and has tweeted that it would be a "dereliction of duty" to broadcast his speeches.

The Federalist recently reported that the thousands of (exclusively left-wing) bodies the media has recruited to do its " " " " fact " " " " checks on Republicans are simply highly partisan SJW college students.

USA Today uses left-wing college interns to censor news media and opinion articles they disagree with, working hand in glove with unaccountable social media giants to suppress it. Newspapers earn a lot of money performing this task for Facebook and its related companies, and are proud of the job they do to police public speech, even bragging about it publicly on social media platforms.

If you begin to feel an intense and crushing feeling of dread at this reality, don’t be alarmed. That indicates only that you are still sane.

Ella Lee is a college senior who transferred to DePaul University in Chicago. There, she edits a school paper with a proclivity for left-wing activism and casual accusations of racism against fellow students. Her Facebook “likes” include Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, as well as a political activism group that claims Donald Trump is a Nazi and an illegitimate president who must be physically resisted. In her spare time, Lee enjoys photography and employing partisan talking points to shut down legitimate debate on contested matters of serious public importance.

On Nov. 25, for example, she called an oped at The Federalist false, relying on differing reads on intent, as well as two partisan, Democratic spokesmen and one co-author. Although many of The Federalist’s staff’s emails are publicly listed on the site, in her totally expectable amateurism she reached out only to a mass-communication media email for comment. In a continuation of her inexperience, she decreed the opinion article "misconstrues the two articles it uses as evidence," misconstruing opinion, debate, and prediction with checkable facts subject to her suppression.

She contacted two Democrat spokesmen to find out "the facts."

Ah. Yes. Democrats are experts on what "the facts" are.
