G facebook stepping up its battle back against fake news. Ae the social networkial neork announced yesterday it willced e work wst outlets to flag questionableiobl stories. Holly joins us to talk tal about the specifics of thepecife social media giants new battleal m plan. Le P Mark Zuckerberg said herbsaie didnt really think that fake ta news was a big percentage ofcenf what is posted. He said it was only likeik 1 percent but when you consider the amount of stuff t n thatst posted on facebooknaceb 1 percent is actually a lot. So, facebooks goal now is to t focus on the worst of theworsof worst offenders and theyre going to do that by partneringpi up with outside Fact Checkers cr owe to help sort honest newstew reports from made up storiesp s that particularly play to partil peoples passions and preconceived notions. Notns so, what kind of stories aretoes we talking about here . Unproven cancer curesoven c celebrity hoaxes backyard bigkyb foot sightings and fakend fak political stories which have drawn attention because of the possibilitnty that theyio swayea the u. S. President ials. Preside election. Now to mention you know what we saw happementnio an t comet m pingpong right here in d. C. Herc so, heres the plan. Facebook is making it easier eas for users to report fake news nw when they see it. I story as fake, facebook willace then pass it on to a third thi party Fact Checkinging organization. Ga now there are currently five Fact Checking organizationsaniz that facebook is nah workingk w with abc news the associatedocte press fact check. Org polit politofacts. Below the headline tpohere wille be a red label that says thasa disputed on it and then theren will be another tab that youab u can click on to find out whynd o it was disputed. D. Now, at that point people havetp hoice. Ce. They can decide if they wanty wn to share the story withry w friends anyway or they cannot. No now, if they do choose to share it, it will get another warning. Wa so, anyway, in a new study s just out yesterday the pewhe Research Center found nearly ady quarter of americans say they have shared a made up news n story either knowingly or unknowingly. Owin the take away here is Mark Zuckerberg has been adamantberg about the fact that face hbookck would not be in the censorshipei business. Thats why they have thiss third party doing the why fact t checking. Checki its not facebook. You can still post whatevern st you want andpost w really the os is still on the Facebook User to inquire about it beingeing fake. So, you decide if you thinkif its going to make amake a difference. At least its another layer, holly, give us us something to think about. Th thanks sinog much. President barack obamaesid vowing to take action against russia foro take allegedly meddd in u. S. The u.

Get you caught up on met on m tomorrow we are continuing toinu track metro this morning in an a move showing the transit agencye is taking safety overhaull seriously a number of employeess have recently been fired. Tly fr and thats just little bit of the disciplinary action all stemming from a july train fro derailment at east falls church. Fox5s bob barnard went right tt the top for the latest. Ates hes standing by at metro headquarters now with metro gm g Paul Wiedefeld. Ul wiede good morning, bob. Reporter good morning allison and steve. Steve well speak to mr. Wiedefeld ini just a moment. I want to take you back to julyl this was just outside the easthe Falls Church Metro station, and basically, a train derailederle right there heading into the station, and we understand that apparently some of the railsls were wider than the train couldu handle. Wider an have been, and as a result of o that derailment last summer,r four track inspectors and two to supervisors have been fired for allegedly falsifying records. Six more firings or suspension are pending. Ding. In all 28 of metros 60 rail inspectors are facing some formm of discipline because of that particular situation and what a has come from thend investigatin of that derail. Hat d as you mentioned joining us is metro general manager paull wiedefeld celebrating your firsi year here with metro. Erwith thanks for joining us. U sure, bob. Sure, bob nice to see you again. You a thank you. Thank you for having us if into your headquarters. Uarters. What can you tell our viewersel about whenl you hear falsifyinn records . What did thesehe employees allegedly do . Sure. Sure. As you recall, right after thata event we were doing ann investigation, and shortlyly thereafter i asked the police tt take over a portion of thatonf t investigation because some ofse the statements we were getting and that has led ttso w basicaly the actions i took that wevetee been taking the last few days. S up as you mentioned theres 28r2 individuals right now that wer still working through what wer going to do there. And it just its reflection unfortunately of years and yeara of culture that has been createt here were going to stop. Reporter did the t investigation of that derailment find records and what have youhe had been falsified or were records falsified after that aft derailment to try to cover up that derailly . Erai no, this is, again, this is sort of systemic and over yearsr there maybe wasnt the focus fus that should have been on it, and some of the reports were justwes not changing and thats just not realistic. Things should be changed out ina ngthe system. Ste so we went back. B we look at three years of of history. We didnt go back much more thaa that. At we had enough there just tous t basically look at, you know, y k what was being reported. Eporte what were the actual conditions. We look at data, fact. Fact. And then based on that we knewek that things were not correct, and we took the actions wens we needed to take. Which by the is a terrible time obviously for anyone this time of season to t lose their lived hoot but it isi totally unacceptable for me f m whether its a manager, whetherh its a front line person itersot doesnt matter. Its about the safety odof thehe individuals and safety of our o customers and thats the wayants its going to be, and and unfortunately thats what has th be done sometimes. Metim Something Like that could lic affect moral but what do you say to the riders your customers oho my gosh, there are people out pl there supposedly doing the inspections and theyre playing with the books . You raised two issues. Isss. One on the moral. I think its actually moral booster, because i think ithi it again reflects all our employees use the system. E the syste you know, they want to be safeef just as a customer does. Oe so i think that i think thehi vast majority of our employees p get that. T the same way with the customerss for the customers what they wt should understand is that we are onop o of this. We will continue to be oninueo e toughies that. That. We have entire new managementagt team in here, we have a new new approach. Apprch. And again, being very well received. Rece theres still some things we toe weed out and well continues to do that. Welldo i want you to hear, yesterdad at the Board Meeting here, jackie jeter who represents thee rail workers, the union Union President , had this to say about the allegations of falsifyingfyn records by some of her unionnion members. Mb lets listen. Thats what they arey ar alleging, and if you talk to any of them, you will find that what they have done is not necessarily falsification in i their mind. M in their mind. Mind. Now, ive talked to them. Tm. Were doing our own investigation. Ig were trying to find out what ii this falsification that wmua iss talking about. Ut if its legit falsification youu wont hear a peep out of me. Reporter but she was saying, they werent maybe surer of what they were supposed to bp doing. Ing. What whats your reaction . Eactn . Again, you know, my positiont is that if anyone sees something thats not right, they need to t raise their hand. And, you know, the track workerw track every day. Day we inspect the entire systeme sm twice a week. We walk the system. E ste and thats what thesehe individuals do. O. And they know they know theow width between the rails. Ails. Its fairly straight forward. Wa they know the conditions of thee ties. Theyre looking at the spikes. Spike those are things that, upping,p, thats pretty straight forward to do. To do. And so i feel fine what we found unfortunately is what we found. U reporter okay. Ep o i know we have to go. G i do want to ask this lasts l question. If you hear half of your rail inspectors are facing facin disciplinary act up to t termination how do you inspectho your tracks then. W yorack sure. Were using other people that weve had a lot of people havege track experience that moved onto to other things. Otherhing were using outside consultantsn and looking at technology. Theres a lot of video and lases Type Technology that we want tot introduce to reduce the needs n for some and also step it up ata little bit. Tt all right. Ht. Mr. Wiedefeld thank you verynk u much. Thanks bob. Appreciate you being with us morning. A lot going on heree you is incg reduced hours of service next n summer for the next two years.

It was trump force one. It was his custom designed 757 and all i can tell you its a pretty sweet ride. Ty swe [ laughter ]ughter ] okay. Now to the business now. The business end of it. F i you know lots of talk about what the electorate will do when its time to vote, and also, this nasty russian business of them e possibly meddling in ourn o ecection. Yeah, when you talk about tht lectors voting people may thinki they already voted on november 8th but as it wass it done by the founders in the constitution, the president pree doesnt become the president rese until the lectors we talk aboutk the electoral vote there are 538 of them and theyre a pouringed depending on who won in each eac state, and now youve got aouvg number of democratic lectors and one republican, one republicanec who are saying they dont wantat to vote u intelligence briefing about the hacking of the american ari political system by the russiani as hey sigh this is almost all l think 60 of the 61 who have signed a petition in this regart are democrats so theresohere certainly seems to be a sign a theyre trying to overturn orr under cut donald trump. Mp. Well be talking to two of those lectors on sunday were also wes going to be talking to a membera of congress from virginia don buyer who is saying that theyg should delay the vote. Ould its supposed to take place onao monday. Nd they should delay the vote until they get that intelligenceli briefing. I think thats very unlikelyely because among other things none of these election tours or very few of them have securityur clearance of all of this o t information is classified. Also have a member of the trump team who they feel that this iss all in and effort by democrats who interesting because trumt got so much heat for his refusas to say he would accept thecc t results of the collection nowcto they say its the democratsrats doing the same thing. We between get to your powero our hearts here in the dmv ass its known. The new head or the head of mgm because we now have little fanciness on the potomac. Ac well thats right. Rig we talked actually well run itn last week but of course all thet stuff happened with donald trump but jim mew ren the executive e whatever i forget his exactis e title of mgm resorts hes thees head guy. Chairman. Hairn. Ceo. Thats right. Chairman. Ceo. Ch 1. 4 billion into the mgm resort. We were there before the opening and ofe coursbee we have some o the stops since the opening. S si if you havent been out thereavt its a prett by cool place. Lace. I mean theres gambling im notn a big gambler but the casino iss literally bigger. R bigger footprint than the whitei house but there are also 15o 1 restaurants including brian, jose andres, and theyre goingyg to have Top Entertainment there everybody from cher and i knowha youre a big cher fan allison. S thats right. To bruno mars. M so its a pretty cool place an lot of reasons they thinkhey theyll get an average of 20,000 people a day at mgm. Gm we take you behind the scenes ue meet the guy who brought mgm tot the potomac. And why . Thats my bigsy question. I mean its like vegas, then us. No. He has very good answer. Good theyre not putting a billion without doing their mark Research Much he says its a huge tourist area. St are theres three airports. Rports washington never has a bad dayeb economically because were not as prone to the recessions thata go on in the rest of the country. And he said that, you know, people thinks will stay forlf an extra day to come out and visit. Vi the mgm resort out on thehe potomac. All right. We forward it to, chris,hris and see you on sunday.
