‘Fact Check’ Hoax: Facebook Relies on USA Today Intern to Falsely Fact Check And Restrict Access to Breitbart Story

While the big story in social media over the last week has been the incredible news that Twitter is now censoring President Trump’s tweets, we’ve also been provided with another reminder of the flawed and biased “fact checking†that another tech giant, Facebook, uses to lessen the impact of Breitbart News on its platforms.
Last week, Facebook once again allowed one of Breitbart News’ establishment competitors, in this case USA Today, to falsely fact-check a Breitbart News Instagram post.
USA Today was allowed to block immediate access to the Instagram post because of its subjective and political disagreement with Breitbart News’ accurate use of the term “amnesty†in the context of reporting on the proposed HEROES Act, Pelosi’s dead-on-arrival to the Senate coronavirus bill.
