I'll ask this again, in regards to claims about Facebook "censoring" conservative outlets: If the same publishing organizations continue to post fake news, and Facebook editors keep having to remove those stories from the same publishers: is it really bias at that point? If conservative outlets are more apt to publish fake news stories than their liberal counterparts, or perhaps liberal publications that post fake news stories ended up trending less often, that still seems like a problem conservatives should want to address. It doesn't like a Facebook or any other medium is really suited to address. When facebook removed the editorial curators, tons and tons of fake news stories started trending. I personally witnessed this rather unfortunate turn of events on my facebook feed. I saw friends and family share completely bogus articles about "The Wikileaks", emails, general corruption, pay outs from foreign leaders, etc. You name it, there was probably a fake story about it. At one point, there was a story about how Trump's victory caused Ford to resume their F-150 model production in Ohio, instead of mexico. Apparently, people believed that those kind of things could just turn around in less than a week. I suspect that many people knew how ridiculous such a claim is, but they didn't care. It fit the narrative. My personal experience and something that is echoed in the article, is that the conservative population is far more likely to rabidly flock to any story that fits some perspective that's beneficial to the narrative as a whole. I witnessed one liberal story being circulated that was definitely false, but it was quickly called out and shut down by other left-leaning people. Where as, I've noticed the opposite effect on fake conservative news stories. Those stories are usually meet with reinforcement, regardless of how fake and contrived the story is. >"His (Trump) followers don’t fact-check anything — they’ll post everything, believe anything. His campaign manager posted my story about a protester getting paid $3,500 as fact. Like, I made that up. I posted a fake ad on Craigslist." This indeed did happen. When it was publicly called out (I think it took something like a day), they simply removed the post. There was no apology, there was no correction. It was just removed. But at that point, the damage is done. I'm sure that story stuck with quite a few people.
