Fact-Checkers Are Too Easy on Trump!
I OPENLY WONDER IF TRUMP WHITE TRASH WOULD SUPPORT THE SAME BEHAVIOR IF HE WAS A DEMOCRAT.
The standard definition of recession is a negative GDP growth in two consecutive fiscal quarters.
Here we go again. Facebook and Instagram are once again "fact-checking" factually correct information at the behest of the White House who continue to redefine definitions to suit their narrative and agenda. This is technocracy at it's worst.
Fact Checkers Funded by the Vaccine Industry
The fact-checkers at Factcheck.org are indirectly funded by Johnson & Johnson.
The fact-checkers are funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), who holds almost $2 billion of stock in Johnson & Johnson.
Richard Besser, the president and CEO of RWJF, was also Director of the CDC in 2009.
The foundation was also originally founded by the late Robert Wood Johnson II, who was president of Johnson & Johnson from 1932 to 1963.

The fact-checkers claim to be independent, but are funded by an organization that holds over $1.9 billion of stock in a vaccine company, is run by a former director of the Center of Disease Control (CDC), and was founded by a president of Johnson & Johnson.
Who can you trust? What can you believe? Scrolling through a news feed can make it hard to decide what’s real from what’s not. Computers, however, tend to do better.
Some lies are easy to spot. Take that report that First Lady Melania Trump wanted an exorcist to cleanse the White House of Obama-era demons. (Bogus!) Then there was that piece on an Ohio school principal who was arrested for defecating in front of a student assembly. (Also untrue.) Sometimes, however, fiction blends a little too well with fact. For instance, did cops really find a meth lab inside an Alabama Walmart? (Again, no.)
We live in a golden age of misinformation. So anyone scrolling through a slew of stories might easily be fooled. In fact, data show, plenty of us are.
On Twitter, falsehoods spread further and faster than the truth, a March 9 study found. Online bots have been accused of spreading these tall tales. But the study in Science found that people shared more bogus tales than did web bots.
Plenty of fake-news stories moved around the web in the weeks leading up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, U.S. intelligence officials reported this year. And the most popular of these fake news reports got more Facebook shares, reactions and comments than did truthful news, according to one analysis in BuzzFeed News.
Luca de Alfaro is a computer scientist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. In the old days, he says, “you could not have a person sitting in an attic and generating conspiracy theories at a mass scale.” Then along came the internet, and more recently social media. Now, peddling lies is truly easy — especially as the internet can essentially hide who is behind a post. Consider that group of teens in the European nation of Macedonia, two years ago. They raked in huge sums of cash by writing popular fake news on topics that were popular during the U.S. presidential election. Readers thought those posts had been written by true journalists.
Most web users probably don’t post bunk on purpose. They likely “share” posts they simply didn’t take the time to fact-check. And that’s easy to do if you’re suffering from information overload. Or if you are overworked or tired.
Confirmation bias — already suspecting an issue is true, or not — can make the problem worse. Consider reports from sources you don’t recognize. “It’s likely that people will choose something that conforms to their own thinking,” says Fabiana Zollo. That’s true “even if that information is false,” says this computer scientist. She works in Italy at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. Her studies focus on how information circulates within social networks.
Fake news doesn’t just threaten the integrity of elections. It also can erode the trust people place in real news. Lies posing as truth can even threaten lives. False rumors in India, earlier this year, incited lynchings. More than a dozen people died. And the source of those rumors: posts on WhatsApp, a smartphone messaging system.
To help sort fake news from truth, scientists have begun building new computer programs. They sift through online news stories, looking for telltale signs of fake facts or claims. Such a program might consider how an article reads. It might also look at how readers respond to the story on social media. If a computer spied a possible lie, its job would be to alert human fact-checkers. They would then be asked to make any final judgment call.
Giovanni Luca Ciampaglia works at Indiana University in Bloomington. Today’s automatic lie-detection tools are “still in their infancy,” he says. This means there’s still a lot of work to be done before many fact-checking programs are let loose on the internet.
The good news: Research teams around the world are forging ahead. They realize that the internet is a fire hose of facts or purported facts. So human fact-checkers clearly need help. And computers are beginning to step up to the challenge.
