    " Google's fact checking service almost exclusively only fact checks conservative news and in many cases their fact checking is wrong. Recently it was discovered a Google serach of Nazism  listed the Northern California Republican party. 

    Going to stop you right there.    That's Wikipedia and literally anyone can log into and edit a page.   Where-area's their moderators catch it and revert the change - as they correctly did.

    Google did claim it happened because of Wikipedia and I have no reason to doubt that. But it did happen. If Wikipedia is unreliable maybe Google shouldn't use them? I don't know just asking.

    Google doesn't "use them".   Google is a search engine that simply provides results.   Wiki is entirely community governed.     Funny enough, I was apart of a forum from long ago that had a visitor attempt to write himself into Buckeye football history books with simple edits on wiki game entries from the 70's.      It ended up being a pretty funny ordeal that actually received attention from a couple national outlets like Yahoo.

    Reminds me of something some Oklahoma fans did after beating Ohio State..you would ask Siri who owns Ohio State Stadium and Siri would say according to Wikipedia Baker Mayfield owns Ohio State stadium...I didn't see the humor in it at the time but now Mayfield is a Cleveland Brown I have to admit it was pretty clever...

    Some true zealot like Buckeyes do the same to the *ichigan page after we beat them in The Game.     All in good fun for the most part.     But the guy I'm referencing was.... a bit of a scam artist.    One that tried to use the power of public editing and it backfired on him quite hard.       Similar situation here.    The IP's that edit changes in Wiki which are changed back can be perma banned.

    If people are too lazy/dumb to fish a bit deeper for information, no amount of regulating is going to help that. There are still idiots who don’t understand what satire is and lose their minds over The Onion.

    Oh we understand what satire is.

    If anyone doesn't understand what satire is it's the left. They eat that shit up as if it were news and the comedians who propagate it are all liberals.

    What political satire does for them is support or fortify their existing hate or misguided beliefs.

    I don’t recall ever mentioning political leaning but if you feel compelled to defend a position I never attacked, jump on in.

  • Another thing to consider if, in fact, Facebook is supposed to promote whatever political agenda they want oh, that the left has been completely distraught over Russian interference a good deal of that comes from fake news reports on, wait for it, Facebook.

    I am not on board with that at all. However, Zuckerberg is fucked if lawsuit results like this are used against Facebook.

    You want to take a guess on who has posted more satirical articles on this board as facts over the years? Our conservative posters or the "left"?

    You've been here for years so you know the answer.

    Satire posted on a message board is highly irrelevant to this topic. Please go back and review the subject matter.
