Summary

(From the archives/2021) The anatomy of fake Facebook fact check

I dig into the prevailing media narratives about coronavirus, including “fact checks,” that have themselves been proven false. Who is behind them? You'll be amazed at who Facebook is letting help censor information about China's controversial Wuhan lab. (Hint: she's a scientist who works at the lab...)

Who is controlling your information online and on the news?

0:00.0	Hi everybody, Cheryl Ackison here. Welcome to another edition of the Cheryl Ackison
0:12.5	podcast. Today I'm going to dissect a fake Facebook fact check. We'll look at who's pulling
0:19.4	the strings online when it comes to controlling information. It will really open your eyes.
0:28.8	I'll bet you have something to say. Did you know you don't have to have any fancy equipment
0:33.2	to start your own podcast? Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from
0:39.5	your own phone or computer you can start creating today. Then you can distribute your podcast
0:44.8	everywhere through Spotify, video podcast too. And you can earn money with ads or subscriptions
0:50.4	all totally free to you, no catch. I've encouraged several people already to try it and they've
0:56.2	now got their own podcast going. Download the Spotify for podcasters app or go to Spotify.com
1:03.2	slash podcasters to get started. Before we dive in, you can pre-order my new books slanted how

1:20.8	It's very much in line with today's conversation. Sometimes I worry about the managed media environment,
1:27.9	how hard it can be to get at the truth to believe what's being widely reported. I worry about how media,
1:34.5	whether it's mainstream news reporters, alternate news reporters, how they're fanning out to further
1:41.1	propaganda and narratives to define the parameters of any discussion as to what's acceptable to say and
1:46.6	consider. Even when, as is the case with coronavirus, many facts are still unknown or being sorted out.
1:53.0	They're serving the purpose of bullying and controversializing reporters and scientists who are
1:58.8	asking natural questions or reporting facts that differ with their narrative. As much as I do
2:06.2	worry, I tend to see that these propaganda efforts invariably explode under the weight of their
2:11.6	own contradictions. The truth is a powerful thing, and as I've said before, the truth ultimately
2:18.2	finds a way to be told. It's kind of like a liar who can't keep a story straight and ultimately gets
2:24.2	exposed because the lies criss-cross. No matter who tries to hide certain facts, the facts are
