Facebook

Mark Zuckerberg, trembling, announced last week that he was shutting down the fact-checking at Facebook. 

That raised concerns. We are still in the opening discussion of how to deal with internet media, its impact on children, on politics, etc. But attempts to defend the fact-checking at Facebook overlook something important.

The fact-checkers at FaceBook were idiots. The whole system was bent, alien, unworkable and a can of stale nuts.
