Fake News Is Still Fooling Facebook’s Fact-Checking Systems
The news has become so bad today so every news source is basically fake news. In my country for example, the national television is so obviously biased it&#x27;s ridicolous.<p>They are spreading more fake news than most of their alternative media competitors. Basically everyone I know trust these alternative media way more than the mainstream media. I don&#x27;t know about the US but in Sweden the mainstream media is the one responsible for the overwhelming majority of fake news.<p>There is a difference though. When these &quot;troll sites&quot; or alternative media sites spreads fake news it&#x27;s often outright lies but when mainstream media spreads fake news it&#x27;s mostly about leaving important details out and not disclosing events and information that is relevant. They are experts in taking things out of context and paint the picture they want to paint. They seldom lie but they are still not telling the truth.<p>I&#x27;ll even give you an example, Dagens Nyheter (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dn.se" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dn.se</a>) is one of the biggest media outlets in Sweden. They had an ad bought by China that spread fake news about the Hong Kong protests and pro-China content.<p>Like, how are people supposed to believe anything they say about such things as foreign affairs (for example) when they are funded partly by fucking China?
