yall made fun of 40 year olds falling for fake news on facebook but the second it was revealed that yall could have fallen for it here its a conspiracy
except we have zero proof besides a claim from tumblr while fake news on facebook can be debunked by a google search. i’m not sure how you can look at the trend of blogs being deleted and not think something is fishy.
american media censoring stuff is like, not a new thing at all.
what is the propaganda behind pointing out police brutality and criticizing political candidates ? how is it “fake news” ? the arguments are generally “oh it’s dividing america and helped trump win” which is wrong, america was never united and hillary won the popular vote anyway. if trump did divide america worse, what does that say about america ?
it’s frustrating to see people trust these conclusions while beforehand saying staff aren’t trustworthy and are always doing bad shit.
A lot of the blogs deleted didn’t have fake news on them. They had real things that really happened like the government bombing in Philadelphia that killed 11, including 5 kids, because they were Black activists or the amount of people killed by police in a given year or what the Clintons did in Haiti. Like none of that is fake news or sensationalized and a lot of them had verified outside links and also personal posts that showed they weren’t bots but real people.
