And since those stories all utter BS, I'm ok with the flagging.


That's the point. Zuckerberg admits it was a mistake. Jack Dorsey admits it was a mistake. Be honest: you just favor the flagging because it upholds your opinion.


It upholds my opinion that journalism should, wt its core, be fact based. Otherwise it would be pure fiction, meaning propaganda. At least we moved on from "Hillary's E-Mails", so some progress.


It was fact based. Tony Bobulinski WAS a business partner of the Biden family. He had emails that confirmed much of what was on the laptop. That's just facts. They should be at least investigated and are ripe for journalism.


The difference between flagging and suppressing is a banner above the Facebook post saying “this story depends on Rudy Giuliani”.
