    Facebook fact-checkers will stop checking Trump after presidential bid announcement

    Facebook’s fact-checkers will need to stop fact-checking former President Donald Trump following the announcement that he is running for president, according to a company memo obtained by CNN.

    While Trump is currently banned from Facebook, the fact-check ban applies to anything Trump says and false statements made by Trump can be posted to the platform by others. Despite Trump’s ban, “Team Trump,” a page run by Trump’s political group, is still active and has 2.3 million followers.

    At least for this week, as they'll decide about next week and beyond when they get a chance to do it.

    ...keep in mind that @TBpup is mainly talking about the "economy" / stock market being in a better trend period :dunno: it's a very common sentiment from anyone working in the financial sector when looking at their bottom line / retirement accounts

    Better people did run. Voters don't like better people.

    That would make sense, if it were actually true that the economy/market was better under Trump. But it wasn't.

    Why is a news network backing candidates?

    Fact-checking Donald Dump

    Some of the highlights if you're just looking for a high-level summary:


    "Facts First: Trump’s figure is false."...

    "Facts First: Both parts of Trump’s claim are false."...

    "Facts First: As we have written repeatedly, it’s not true"...


    "Facts First: Trump’s claims are false"...

    "Facts First: Trump’s claim is not true, just as it was when he made similar claims as president."...

    "Facts First: This is false"...

    "Facts First: This is misleading."...

    "Facts First: It’s not true"...

    "Facts First: This claim is false."...

    "Facts First: It’s not even close to true"...

    Why do they say false and misleading? Call it what it is. Lie.

    One person apparently liked it when 3000 Americans died weekly from Covid.

    Fox News isn't a news network.

    So I guess yeah, the "economy" was better before Joe Biden caused a world wide inflation and covid.

    KFC didn't cover it either... Apparently businesses can choose not to cover whatever they want.
