Facebook Chooses To Demote Fake News Instead of Remove It (bbc.co.uk) 154
Facebook says it will not remove fake news from its platform because it does not violate its community standards. According to the BBC, Facebook said publishers often had "very different points of view" and removing fabricated posts would be "contrary to the basic principles of free speech." Instead, it is choosing to demote posts in the news feed that it deems to be fake news. From the report: Facebook has been scrutinized for its role in spreading fake news after evidence emerged that Russia tried to influence U.S. voters using the social network. On Wednesday, the company held an event in New York where it sought to convince journalists it was tackling the problem. The company said it would not remove fake news that did not break its rules but would down-rank content that had been marked as false. "We allow people to post it as a form of expression, but we're not going to show it at the top of News Feed," a spokeswoman told CNN.

This is a direct result of the left-wing feminist culture. Men of the past may had their problems, but they were taught not to hit
women, cuss in front of them, and treat them right.
The feminist revolution brought this on themselves and some women are finally waking up to the BS that they were fed by
these so-called feminists.

They want the boy to go off and get a gun and kill the bullies. It makes for a better news story and play right along to the politicians' agenda.
But, seriously, if are you're getting bullied then just post it all over the Internet, like what happened to that girl that got raped by those "popular", affluent boys. The cops and school administrators can't sweep that under the rug.
Comment The Right Formula (Score 1) 384
An editorial in the New York Times (March 1, 1998) was entitled, How To Manufacture a Best-Seller. It told the story of John Baldwin, a 53-year-old carpenter and a would-be writer, who had struggled for years to make a living from writing. He determined to become famous and rich overnight by writing a best-selling medical thriller. He studied five or six best thrillers. After 7 years' research he found 10 steps to producing a best-selling medical novel. He honed it with some Hollywood writers and agents, and here is the 10-step formula he used:
The hero is an expert.
The villain is an expert.
You must watch all the villain's activities over his shoulder.
The hero has a team of experts behind him, working in various fields.
Two or more on the team must fall in love.
Two or more on the team must die.
The villain must turn his attention from his initial goal to the team.
The villain and the hero must live to do battle again in the sequel.
All deaths must proceed from the individual to the group.
If the story bogs down, just kill somebody.
George R.R. Martin must have read this article!
