Facebook is completely out of control. They penalized The Right Scoop for our article on the Antrim County forensic report on Dominion Voting Systems, when all we did was quote the report:
They claim our article is missing context, but how exactly? I only quoted excerpts from the report and posted two screenshots of the report, along with the full report itself. I never presented any opinion about it whatsoever.
Even the title was simply a quote from the report: Forensic report on Dominion Voting Systems says “Antrim County should not have been certified.”
But for simply presenting the report, they added another page violation and diminished the article’s reach.
There’s no missing context whatsoever. What the so-called fact-checker wanted me to do was editorialize away the report, saying needless things like the report didn’t ‘prove’ that the Dominion software did anything wrong or that the report was written by someone who was a ‘Trump partisan’.
But to me that’s unnecessary for the type of article I did. Either the report stands on its own or it doesn’t. Either it’s factual or it isn’t. I shouldn’t be penalized for simply presenting a forensic report that many on our side were touting at the time.
If someone disagrees with the report, they can write an article explaining why, like Lead Stories did for their so-called fact-check. I have no issue with someone criticizing it or supporting it. It’s their opinion and they are more than entitled to express it.
But that wasn’t the aim of our article, which was simply to present the report, along with its conclusions, to our readers so they could dive deeper into the report and its analysis. My intent, as the author, wasn’t to fact-check the report and, to be honest, I’m not really qualified for such an endeavor on something like this.
What Facebook is penalizing The Right Scoop (and presumably other outlets) for is not dismissing the report out of hand, for not expressing an opinion they approve of in their quest to pretend there was no widespread voter fraud that made Joe Biden president. This about their campaign to silence those of us on the right who they believe helped elect Donald Trump four years ago.
