FACTS ARE RACIST: ThinkProgress Accuses Facebook of Censorship After Conservative Factchecker Correctly Points Out an Error. “‘Brett Kavanaugh said he would kill Roe v. Wade last week.’ Except he didn’t.”

Ian Millhiser, justice editor at ThinkProgress, is upset that The Weekly Standard—a right-of-center magazine whose editors have been granted the power to formally factcheck articles for Facebook—recently labelled one of his articles “false.”
But the claim made by the article’s headline—”Brett Kavanaugh said he would kill Roe v. Wade last week and almost no one noticed”—is at the very least quite misleading.
ThinkProgress is a left-of-center news site published by the Center for American Progress. Its writers have previously expressed concernsthat Facebook would award an explicitly conservative media outlet factchecker status, a privilege enjoyed by just four other organizations: the Associated Press, Factcheck.org, Politifact, and Snopes.com. Articles tagged as false will lose “80 percent of future traffic,” according to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and thus the stakes are indeed quite high for media organizations.
