/Biden rails against Meta’s fact-checking change, suggests it’s un-American: ‘Really shameful’
President Biden slammed Meta on Friday for ending its third-party fact-checking program, arguing that the change goes against American values and is “shameful.”
“The whole idea of walking away from facts checking [sic] as well as not reporting anything having to do with, uh, um, discrimination regarding TPS I find to be just contrary to American justice,” Biden said in response to a reporter’s question about Meta’s recent policy shift.
It’s unclear what the 82-year-old president was referring to when he suggested Meta was not reporting discrimination “regarding TPS,” an acronym for the Temporary Protected Status program offered to foreign nationals from certain countries.
The president fumed that “a billionaire can buy something and say, ‘By the way, from this point on, we’re not going to, we’re not going to fact check anything.’”
Zuckerberg, 40, did not buy Meta, he originally founded the company as Facebook in 2004.
“When you have millions of people reading, going online, reading this stuff, it is — anyway, I think it’s, I think it’s really shameful,” Biden concluded.
…. In an interview released just hours before the president’s remarks, Zuckerberg slammed the Biden administration on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast for pushing Meta to censor content related to COVID-19 vaccines.
The Meta boss claimed Biden officials phoned executives at the company to “scream” and “curse” at them while demanding that they remove any negative posts about the coronavirus vaccine on Facebook.
“It was brutal,” Zuckerberg said of the ordeal, arguing that “the US government should be defending its companies, not be at the tip of the spear attacking its companies.”
Who knew that when the left cheered Biden’s 2016 electoral triumph as “the return of adults to the White House” they were referring to adult diapers?
The U.S. is emerging from its most repressive era of suppression of truth and free speech since the Wilson administration crushed dissent during WW 1, so Biden’s performance yesterday, mouthing words he didn’t understand and that his handlers know to be duplicitous was a fitting end to our national nightmare.
