Скачать или смотреть New Twitter fact-check feature ‘pushing anti-Trump political spin’

Sky News host Chris Kenny says a “fascinating new battlefront” has emerged when it comes to “fake news” and the ongoing mainstream media campaign targeting US President Donald Trump.

Social Networking service Twitter has now added fact-check warnings to Donald Trump’s Tweets, something the president says is an infringement on free speech.

Mr Kenny said the feature “claims to be sending people to relevant facts” but instead “it sends them to a fact check by CNN and other left-of-centre and anti-Trump organisations”.

“Of course, Trump's claims about the risk of fraud and political skulduggery are absolutely valid”.

“So when Twitter tries to steer people to the facts it is not defeating Fake News, it is favouring one angle of political spin over another angle of spin”.

Mr Kenny also said the fact-check feature could be used on Australia’s national broadcaster considering the ABC got “Brexit wrong, the Trump election wrong” and the last federal election result wrong too.

“This sudden interest in fact checking is fascinating isn't it.

“They only love it when it is turned against Trump, and in favour of the green Left”.
