The rights of stupid users must be protected by MBFC, which clearly tells people that the CIA is trustworthy and unbiased (whereas anti-imperialist sources get seventeen Pinocchios because freedomrifle.com fact checked them and found that they contradicted sources they liked in an endless cycle and their claims supported the Bad Country^TM) so there is no confusion. This can be very helpful to stop people from seeing OBVIOUS PROPOGANDA.

I found a particularly egregious case of MBFC lies here:

The article they link that shows Electronic Intifada “failed a fact check” is fact checking a single person’s tweet, which references a video, and the article mentions EI only once in the main body, namely it’s linked as an article shared by the tweeter to PolitiFact in email correspondence to support his claim that the IOF killed Israeli concert goers, but this is dismissed by PF since:

The information he sent did not include or appear to mention the video footage he shared on X.

And the context he gave for the video footage is all that’s being ”fact checked”. The original fact checking article linked clearly says EI’s article had nothing to do with the footage he shared. But since EI’s article is included in their sources, and an idiotic reading of the title seems to say that PF is saying Israel didn’t shoot its own concert goers period and no footage shows that they did (this may be intentional), EI has been DEBUNKED. Liberal scripture!

Oh and their rating system is completely arbitrary (cover for liberal end of history-ism).
