Googles new 'fact-check' feature almost exclusively targets conservative sites

[Mormolyce]

Perhaps, but selective reviews reveal something. More over it depends on what is considered a lie.

I am reminded of this:

He was (a) factually wrong:

https://www.factcheck.org/2016/09/tr...id-wash-facts/

And (b) it is by no means clear that he didn't literally mean dipping the hard drive in acid. He consistently used the wrong words (who uses "acid wash" for wiping a hard drive? As opposed to say, jeans). This is the same man who claimed Obama "tapped his phones" (sic). It's entirely believable that he's such a dinosaur that he actually thought it was literally bleach or acid.

If I told you that I identify as an expansive ornate building, would you deny my truth?

lol you people are really buying that guys bullshit.

The left wing championed Venezuela, now they don't talk about it. Chavez was considered a hero to the left, and they conveniently ignored his move into tyranny.

"The left" is not a hivemind, to begin with.

Further, neither of those claims are remotely true. Why are you making up bullshit?

If this is the kind of stuff you're angry is getting flagged as "false", then it's not shocking why you're so upset about the rise of fact-checking.

How about the suppression of recognizing ISIS as a growing danger? If you look at media coverage of ISIS, its like one day they just popped up and took over a bunch of countries.

Didn't happen, at the outset of events. As it stands now, ISIS is not a "growing danger"; they've been losing ground steadily. I know, pesky things, facts.

Or how about the overthrow of the Egyptian government, and the 'Arab Spring' in general? Another project championed by the dominant narrative, and another catastrophic failure.

It wasn't a "project", it was a ground-up movement within those countries themselves.

Your problem is that you've invented a lot of conspiracy nonsense that isn't true.

The left wing championed Venezuela, now they don't talk about it. Chavez was considered a hero to the left, and they conveniently ignored his move into tyranny. Great power lies in the ability to control the main cultural narrative, and to selectively ignore things that challenge the dominant ideology.

ISIS, which is conservative?

[JohnBrown1917]

You keep posting that.

Seriously, how do you even get that to display?



You... uh... you do realise that's not literal, right?

Probably just edited.

I have to correct you here, the arab spring might not have been orchestrated, but the deposition of these dictators and causing even more damage certainly was, if you've read the leaked emails, however they were obtained, they were confirmed to be real.

Hillary Clinton indicated they wanted to move on countries like Libya and Egypt to score a political victory (at least in part), that of course backfired.

[Mormolyce]

I just typed the same search into google and that is what popped up.

On what? I've tried on PC, multiple browsers, and my Galaxy.

If there's some option to show it on Google I can't find it.

Which wasn't the Arab Spring.

It was an attempt to see if political hay could be made as a result of the Arab Spring, which has nothing to do with what Venant was claiming.

People known for notorious lying get fact checked a lot. People who are not known for notorious lying don't.

[Heladys]

What kind of delusional half-wit would even think the particular focus on the conservative lie-factories is unwarranted?

Christ, you people specifically read that garbage because it gives you a warm comfy blanket of reality denial and belief affirmation. You do it knowingly.

The left widely supported the Arab spring. They supported the government in Egypt being overthrown. They suppressed facts about violent Islamists being the ones who were leading the overthrow in Egypt. They didn't report on the fact that these people were executing people for religious reasons. They attempted to cover up stories like the rape of Lara Logan. While it was happening, the narrative was designed by the left to make it sound like the Arab spring was some sort of liberal democratic revolution, but instead it was a brutal Islamist revolution.

[Theodarzna]

Which is accurate.....he literally kept repeating that she acid washed her hard drives. He explicitly stated that she poured acid on them at one point. Don't blame them that you don't actually know what's going on.

Yet, that is the most insane interpretation of his words. I think any reasonable and honest actor would have understood him to be speaking figuratively.

[Priestiality]

You think that's bad look at this:

Probably because you asked in Spanish who invented the United States but asked for American Inventors in English. But naw, it's clearly a conspiracy to make white people seem inferior.

They supported the push for greater freedoms and the popular outcry that pursued such
They supported the ending of a brutal regime in Egypt.

ALL of that is a flat-out bullshit lie. Every single claim.

Well, I mean it is curious why the discrepancy. Given that the meaning of the question was the same in Spanish and English.

No, no i didn't. And it's not a conspiracy.

No. He legit said that she poured acid on them. Not just acid wash. He said she poured acid on them. That's spoken very plainly.

Funny how trumpkins always come back with "Well, what he meant was...." Because we have a president who is about as intelligent as a 7 year old who can't use words properly. Even his "stable genius" message said he was "like, really smart". Get the fuck out of here with your nonsense about what he means. He's a moron who lies. You don't know what he means, you just want to believe that he isn't a moron.

What is bad about this?

A search engine is supposed to yield the most viewed results. Google is intentionally modifying the search results.

A> No, it isn't (solely), and
B> Of course they are, every search engine does. It's how they ensure that you get the best results more readily, without picking up spam sites and the like. This isn't shocking to anyone who's paid any attention to search engine development since the days of Excite and Webcrawler and the like.
