It's not my fault if you're retarded
Yep. A Leftist leaning journalism school in Tampa FL that operates Politifact, a Leftist leaning "factchecking" resource. As more objective and measured studies, like the one below, show, Politifact is quite biased towards Leftist positions and opinions.
“Fact-checking” fact checkers: A data-driven approach | HKS Misinformation Review
This study examined four fact checkers (Snopes, PolitiFact, Logically, and the Australian Associated Press FactCheck) using a data-driven approach. First, we scraped 22,349 fact-checking articles from Snopes and PolitiFact and compared their results and agreement on verdicts. Generally, the two...misinforeview.hks.harvard.edu
Politifact has a history of selective sourcing on their checks and tends to favor taking more Conservative / Right positions and fact checking them false while ignoring Leftist / Liberal positions entirely.
This is a form of gaslighting. Know what that is?
Indeed.

And I'm the one that jaded you.
I've been getting pretty sick of Facebook already. The reels and short videos section always show the stupidest shit you can't unsee. On top of that, I see no way to disable or hide them. Some of the shit that pops up has me wondering if kids can see the same things I'm seeing. Ain't nobody need to click on a video that looks to be two donkeys having sex. There's all sorts of A.I. shit too.
Meta bends the kneeMeta will get rid of factcheckers, “dramatically reduce the amount of censorship” and recommend more political content on its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Threads, founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced.

It's just like here on JPP. I'm here to chat with friends more than anything anymore. Facebook is nice for its original purposes but it's turning into a crapfest too.

If you aren’t sure of something, ask @CommunityNotes!
Notes are only published if a significant number of people who have historically disagreed agree that a note is accurate.

A study found that community notes explaining misinformation are significantly more trusted than expert flags, no matter what side of the political spectrum you're in.
Researchers showed 1,300+ Americans 36 posts (misleading and accurate) with varied fact-check labels.
The secret? Context matters!
Community notes add detailed explanations, unlike simple "misleading" labels, which leave users guessing.
It seems that the era of paid fact-checking agencies is gone.
𝕏's approach even improved misinformation detection, especially for posts aligned with users’ biases.

I dont care who is more trusted....I care who is more right.
