BillsFanNC Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 Majority of Americans do not trust the legacy media. Many here still do despite being lied to over and over again. 1
B-Man Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 Reason USA Today (an official social media ‘fact-checker’) removed 23 articles marks another banner week for #Journalism https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2022/06/17/reason-usa-today-an-official-social-media-fact-checker-removed-23-articles-marks-another-banner-week-for-journalism/ Yes, let’s not forget that the USA Today is one of social media platforms’ go-to “fact-checkers” as of March 2020: USA TODAY announced today that it is joining Facebook’s Third-Party Fact-Checking Program. As a program partner, USA TODAY, along with other third-party fact-checkers certified through the non-partisan International Fact-Checking Network, will partner to independently review, rate and verify news content on Facebook and Instagram to help prevent the spread of false information. “As a media organization with unparalleled local-to-national reach, we take our commitment to providing people with truthful information very seriously, and fact-checking is integral to the journalism being done by USA TODAY and in Gannett newsrooms across the country” said Maribel Perez Wadsworth, Gannett’s news leader and Publisher of USA TODAY. “We also recognize that the distribution of false information on social media is a concerning issue that warrants attention in today’s world, so joining Facebook’s fact-checking program to identify misinformation felt like a natural step for us. We are proud to partner with Facebook on a program with such an important mission.” And yet in light of this most recent example of “journalism,” the media continue to be baffled as to why their credibility has gone completely down the drain.

Expand If you think the sources you frequent have the integrity to retract, correct, or admit any fault then I have some waterfront property in South Dakota I'd like to sell you. USA Today was the first hit when I googled one of your Jan 6 sob stories about the persecuted bystander who pepper sprayed a cop. It was corroborated by 20 other sources. For some weird reason AG had a different version. You're clearly very butthurt and making this personal. Edited June 17, 2022 by Jauronimo

You are just a more articulate and less of a broken record version of @BillStime and @Tiberius. But you're in the exact same "cult" as they are often fond of saying. So I'm going to agree again with what you said yesterday, there's no point discussing any of this with you. You've been had and you want to continue slurping down the lies. Enjoy it and embrace it! 2

So no I won't be "discussing" any of this with you, you've proved that you're loaded to the gills with confirmation bias. I may call out your BS here and there going forward. 1 1
