Corporate Media’s ‘Fake News’ War is Backfiring by Showing the World the Power of Alt Media
As you've likely heard by now, Facebook has taken its war against 'fake
news' to a whole other level — employing third party media and
fact-checking organizations to judge whether news items are legitimate —
to the consternation of countless users who see the platform
overstepping red lines.
Servile corporate media immediately parroted the wealth of benefits Facebook's plan will ostensibly
provide, from an alert and gateway system forced onto articles deemed
"disputed," to the organizations making the 'kiss of death' judgment
call: Snopes, FactCheck.org - , Politifact, and ABC News.
Anyone with passing knowledge of bias in media is probably spitting out
their coffee — all four organizations are notoriously left-leaning and
liberal, and the list includes no outlets with any other of myriad
ideological tilts.
