USA Today (routinely used by Fakebook to Fact Check) forced to delete 23 stories...

Yes, they did. If they hadn't, they'd of critically reviewed her submissions and fact checked them. They didn't because her bullshit aligned with their views. It's no different than this:

Do you understand what deceiving people means? They realized their error and are making corrections now. You should be happy about that.

The "journalism" in the stories was actually fabrication and the stories were written with 100% fictional sources... Thank the little GODS that they are so consistently used to "fact check" Fakebook.

And if you can't see NYTimes stories because of the pay wall:

https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/16/media/usa-today-removes-articles/index.html

Apparently they do not fact check their own publication unless someone points out that they don't have their facts right... So, these folks that are part of the US "partners" to fact check Fakebook uses stories fabricated by "journalists" to fact check Fakebook...

And finally: Just in case you don't believe that Fakebook uses USA Today as factcheckers...

I wish Fox News was held to that same standard. Imagine how much more informed it's viewers would be?

She deceived them. They are now working on a procedure to prevent that from happening again.

Oh! NOW they are working on a procedure. I thought they were supposed to be a professionally ran organization not a slipshod fly by night easily duped one. Seems like they didn't do their due diligence.

No, they got caught letting one of their writers publish bullshit repeatedly and now they have to deal with it. They didn't do that willingly and it is likely to happen again in the near future.

In this case I feel justified considering how shocked and upset some of you are about fake news stories. I mean...you want those who are in a position to sway opinions to be held accountable for what they present as news, right? There should be a certain level of integrity and honesty when disseminating the news...right? Otherwise, fire whomever is proven to be spreading bullshit.

Fox News would go out of business.

Irrelevant to the question at hand.
