Leftwing Media and Censorship Complex Seethes Over Meta's Abandonment of Leftwing "Fact"-Checkers; "Fact"-Checkers Worry They Might Lose Their Funding and Their JobsBrian Stelter, CNN's Chief Deplatforming Officer, who for years and years has made "combating misinformation" his main mission, calling up social media monopolies every time Media Matters ran a hit on a right-leaning speaker and demanding why are you allowing this Russian Disinformation on your platform!?!, is now shrieking that his censorious grift has taken a big hit. Mark Zuckerberg's MAGA makeover will reshape the entire internet "Right-wing talking point" = established and undeniable fact. Because Meta is such a dominant force in the industry, with billions of users on its platforms worldwide, the changes will resonate even more widely, reshaping whole swaths of the internet in MAGA-friendly ways.
Weird, you claimed that nothing like this was possible over the past five years! Zuckerberg, touching on two popular right-wing themes, said the company will "get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse." Oh no. People will have to "discern for themselves" what is true or not without the censorship services provided by bottom-feeding 22-year-old Oberlin College graduates with no other job prospects? Whatever shall we do? And this means that these bottom-feeding no-account unemployables will suddenly be unemployed? Anything but that!
Please not the "fact"-checkers! Please don't let them lose their funding! Even though their entire racket was to create a pretext for social media monopolies to ban other people's speech, and to toxify the right so that no advertisers would do business with them! But no, not the "fact"-checkers! Update -- Breaking: "Fact"-checkers have called an emergency meeting. In an exclusive interview with Business Insider, IFCN Director Angie Holan confirmed that the meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, was organized in direct response to Meta's decision... FaceBook and Google definitely are paying most of the salaries of these censors. When the left and then the Obama and Biden Administrations demanded censorship, FaceBook and Google wanted to provide it for them. But they wanted to do so with plausible deniability. So they began paying outlets to take on fact-checkers whose salaries were paid by FaceBook and Google (if my understanding of this is correct). In return, outlets who agreed to prop up the new censorship regime, like Bill Kristol's Weekly Standard, would gain favorable treatment from FaceBook's algorithm. Then FaceBook and Google would take the "fact"-checks provided for by the "fact"-checkers whose salaries they were paying and use them as a basis to censor speech -- claiming that "third party independent fact-checkers" had ruled this speech as false or "hateful." I'm sure they also paid millions and millions to Politi-"Fact" and other "fact" check organizations.
Politi-"Fact" whines that it's not true they engaged in censorship -- all they did, after all, was provide extremely partisan fake fact checks labeling any speech they disagreed with "false" or "hateful" and then FaceBook would ban it. We didn't ban anything, they cry! We only provided the "independent" pretext for censorship that all the left was demanding, and we continued labeling all conservative speech as "disinformation" and "hatespeech" once we saw all of this speech being censored! This as led to the most astonishing NYT headline in years: "Fact"-checkers rule criticism against them for being "too partisan" to be false. Mollie @MZHemingway Kyle Mann of the Babylon Bee thinks the NYT might be horning in on his hustle. Kyle Mann @The_Kyle_Mann
Axios throws scare quotes around "censorship." They want you to know they don't agree that censorship is censorship when leftwing censors do it. Some help for the waves of coming laid-off "fact"-checkers:
