left and the right for which others call fake news. we believe banning these pages would be contrary to the basic principals of free speech. we denote individual posts that are reported by facebook users and raided as false by fact checkers. that s the facebook explanation. why does it not hold water? i went to this press event where they aimed to tout their misinformation and conspiracy theories on line. after the presentation i asked a very simple question. how can you host info wars and sit there and tell us you take information online to be seriously. at the time the facebook executives didn t really have a good answer. they say we demote the bs stories so fewer people see them. that is action. right. it is action. that is facebook s argument. people are saying why would you poison 100 people with false information if you re acknowledging it is not good
scrutiny for good reasons. you ve reported on these hateful ads that you can use facebook or google or twitter or other companies to target hateful ads to people? i would mention when we re looking at the question of media literacy, the company doesn t give users information by which they can reasonably adjudicate what s legitimate and what s not, what s coming from other americans and what s not. it s up to you even though you don t the tools as a facebook user to make this determination and it becomes either on the one hand a default assumption that you are seeing credible investigation from other americans or alternatively it s up to you to say this whole thing is fake, i don t trust whatever i m giving you. and fake news came from a lot of sources before election day. it wasn t just russian propagandists in moscow putting up bs stories on the internet. but the point is mueller honing in on to what extent russia was responsible for some of the lies and propaganda that was out
so, michael flynn has tweeted out that he has sort of fallen for some of these fake, bs stories. this one in particular. this is his son. his son michael flynn jr. here s his tweet. until pizzagate proven to be false, it will remain a story. the left seems to forget podesta e-mails and the many coincide e coincidences tied to it. prove to me that it didn t happen. that s not the standard that we normally use. you have to prove it did happen. undermining truth as the foundation of how we interact with each other is really dangerous and not just dangerous for the people who happen to be on the other side of it right now. but it s a risky thing for everyone to do. if you undermine truth today for someone else, it s going to come back. absolutely. to your side. i don t think people realize that. we need to make that more clear
