Have you fact-checked your fact-checker lately? If not, Media Bias Fact Check does exactly that daily.

Bias can be blatantly open, or sneakily hidden, and most of us have biases, some that we’re not even aware of. How a question is asked can be as important as how it is answered.

I’m being informed that FB promptly shuts down and blocks any and all mentions to fact checkers that aren’t their own, which is laughable to start with.

Well, it is laughable unless you are serious about democracy of course. FB’s policy of blocking links to other fact checkers means you can’t post a link that proves a post on a topic is incorrect. The incorrect post itself gets to stay (and the falsification can be shared, re-shared etc), only the correction of it being a lie is blocked.

Great.

I’m happy I am not there much any more (just doing the odd “Happy birthday” greeting these days).

@ambivalena I only keep my account there so I can be invited to events friends/family arrange, which apparently has to happen via FB. That, and the “todays birthdays” are literally my only interaction there these days, so I don’t have to scroll around much. 😆

That is so strange, that people use fb for those things.

But, if you delete your account there (as I did years ago) you don't excist anymore, people forget about you.
