Who are the fact-checkers?
Hans von Spakovsky writes at The Daily Signal about Facebook now using fact checkers.
…But who are the fact-checkers? According to Facebook, its approved third-party fact-checking groups are Snopes.com, PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, the Associated Press, and The Weekly Standard. Of the five groups, The Weekly Standard is the only outlet that made a recent decision by these organizations to mark a ThinkProgress article as false. (If two fact-checkers disagree on a rating, then Facebook won’t take action to reduce the article’s distribution, according to Fox News.)
…In recent years, those on the progressive left have decided to censor terms that, despite being accurate and legally correct, do not meet their views of the prevailing political orthodoxy.
They prefer terms such as “undocumented immigrant” that are intended to disguise the illegality of aliens who cross our borders without permission. The difference in meaning between these terms is actually crucial when understanding and correctly discussing different types of immigration.
As noted in a previous article, “Under federal law, any individual in this country who is not a citizen is an alien.”
“And any alien who is here without permission is here illegally. End of story.”
