Soros-Backed Media Matters Pushes Facebook to Eliminate Global Warming Deniers.. Scratch a leftist — Find a fascist Global warming fanatics have been wrong on EVERY MAJOR PREDICTION of devastation since 2008. Now the George Soros-funded Media Matters activist group is pushing Facebook to eliminate platforms that question global warming. Only 45% of Americans believe global warming is a serious threat and will affect them personally. And that poll was from far left Gallup. In case you missed it — the American Left has gone full fascist. Via Media Matters: Facebook, well-known as a breeding ground for misinformation, has a particular problem with disseminating false and misleading messages about climate change science. The platform spreads climate-denying videos and other posts, hosts climate-denying ads, and officially partners with climate-denying media outlets and organizations. Climate-denier videos get millions of views on Facebook A recent video promoting false arguments against climate change science got more than 5 million views on Facebook, The Guardian‘s Dana Nuccitelli reported last week. The video — posted in June by The Daily Signal, an arm of the right-wing Heritage Foundation — is titled “Why Climate Change Is Fake News.” It features Marc Morano, a longtime spokesperson and blogger for the climate-denial cause, who outlines three things that “the left gets wrong about climate change.” Nuccitelli points out that all three are common and easily debunked myths. Nuccitelli notes that Facebook’s viewership numbers are likely inflated, but the video has still reached a lot of people: Fortunately, the exposure to Morano’s misinformation video is not as bad as it seems at first blush. Although Facebook implies the video has been viewed over 5m times, a “view” is counted after just three seconds, and videos on the site play automatically. Nevertheless, the video has been shared over 75,000 times, so it has certainly reached a wide audience. Facebook needs to come to terms with the fact that there is an objective reality. Even if Marc Morano sincerely believes humans aren’t causing global warming, that belief is false, and by continuing to host his myth-filled video, Facebook is misinforming tens of thousands, perhaps even millions of its users. As of this writing, the Daily Signal video has now been “viewed” 6.3 million times and shared 102,000 times. Other denier videos get traction on Facebook as well… …Combating fake news is key to combating climate change. As an editorial in the journal Nature Communications argued last year, “Successfully inoculating society against fake news is arguably essential” if major climate initiatives are to succeed. Facebook could be a big part of the solution. But by kowtowing to conservatives, prioritizing profits over accuracy, and maintaining open-door policies toward misinformation, Facebook is entrenching itself as a major part of the problem.

Alex Jones has just been shut down on Facebook...

whats next, who's next

the WAR on Conservatism and Free speech is on at full speed..

Yes, because you guys don't have your own poorly formatted blogs in which to have your say.

Good post Mechanic,

& yet people like Al Gore & Monk can
say as much as they like as long as it agrees with the
global warming theory - caused by CO2.

Each and every one of Al Gore's predictions have been proven wrong.

So why is the ice melting in the Northern Hemisphere?

It was thick ice across the entire North pole only a few weeks ago.
Has that all melted in 2 weeks?

Only if you believe Monk.
All the ice has gone & you can sail right across the North Pole.

Of course Facebook isn't the only one

"“Ben Gomes, vice-president of engineering @ Google Search, said in a blogpost: “In a world where tens of thousands of pages are coming online every minute of every day, there are new ways that people try to game the system. The most high-profile of these issues is the phenomenon of ‘fake news’, where content on the web has contributed to the spread of blatantly misleading, low quality, offensive, or downright false information.”

Regarding the changes to its search algorithm, Gomes added: “We’ve adjusted our signals to help surface more authoritative pages and demote low-quality content … so that issues similar to the Holocaust denial results that we saw back in December [2016] are less likely to appear.”    "

Of course that doesn't mean that Google actually knows anything. Merely that they will promote the accepted truth above all else. Even if it is wrong..
