FaceBooks "more betterer" (according to them) internal Ministry Of Fact Checking was their definitive replacement for independent fact checkers, independent journalists. Let's have a little look at how FaceBooks internal and sanctioned "authoritative" fact checkers are faring: Facebook 'Fact Checker' Worked At Wuhan Biolab; Ruled Out Virus-Leak While 'Debunking' Articles https://www.zerohedge.com/health/conflict-interest-facebook-fact-checker-wor... A Facebook fact checker who has 'debunked' articles suggesting that COVID-19 may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) has a giant conflict of interest; she worked at the institute .. Danielle Anderson, who works at Duke University's NUS Medical School lab in Singapore, also contributes to Science Feedback - which Facebook has been using to slap "False Information" labels on articles claiming that COVID-19 may have originated at the Wuhan institute - where Anderson worked with bat coronavirus. A quick search of Anderson's publications reveals no fewer than nine collaborations with Dr. Peng Zhou - a Wuhan scientist experimenting on bat coronavirus (the mention of whom may result in a Twitter ban). https://www.duke-nus.edu.sg/directory/detail/anderson-danielle-elizabeth https://www.zerohedge.com/health/man-behind-global-coronavirus-pandemic If you follow the info, you will find the Facebook fake fact-checker on the China Wuhan lab is a scientist who works/worked at China's Wuhan lab the past two years and says it is impossible that they would be sloppy because they are very careful! 😂😡@Facebook https://t.co/Ldvu7He82v — Sharyl Attkisson🕵️‍♂️ (@SharylAttkisson) April 16, 2020 .. And while Anderson was busy covering for her corona-labmates with Facebook debunkings implicating the WIV, she went on national television to explain that the virus could have only come from outside the lab. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKzpeHB2FbM ...
