UPDATE: Yesterday, I reported that the Rowdy Republican Facebook page was getting MASSIVE distribution (>USA Today) while relentlessly pushing dangerous misinformation about diabetes

Today, all links on the page to the diabetes scam have been DELETED

Facebook is a $500 billion corporation that won't enforce its own rules.

And it's putting people's health at risk.

If you value independent accountability journalism that makes an impact, please sign up for my newsletter, Popular Information --> popular.info
This doesn't resolve the issue of THE DAILY CALLER, an official Facebook "fact checker" which reviewed a post from Rowdy Republicans that included its dangerous diabetes scam and rated it "TRUE"

Wow. WTF.

"Trump’s interaction with the foreign leader included a “promise” that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint."

washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Gets worse: "Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson determined that the complaint was credible and troubling enough to be considered a matter of 'urgent concern,' a legal threshold that requires notification of congressional oversight committees."
And then, the coverup: "But acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire has refused to share details about Trump’s alleged transgression with lawmakers, touching off a legal and political dispute that has spilled into public"

Lewandowski just told the Judiciary Committee that he had taken dictation for Trump "many times."

But Lewandowski told Mueller that the only time he ever took dictation from Trump was on June 19, 2017. (Vol 2. Pg 91)

So he either just lied to Congress or lied to Mueller.
If you want to learn more about Lewandowski's performance, I'll be covering it in my newsletter, Popular Information.

Same kind of insights, just with complete sentences and in depth research.

OH SNAP. Hakeem Jeffries just confronted Lewandowski on this contradiction.

"Did you lie to Mueller or are you lying now."

Lewandowski basically accused MUELLER of misrepresenting what he said.

1. Here's the NYT this morning puzzling over Trump's deference to Saudi Arabia and his willingness to let its rulers dictate US foreign policy

Not mentioned, even in passing: Trump's extensive financial relationship with the Saudis

FOLLOW. THE. MONEY.

popular.info/p/the-saudi-mo…
2. The NYT doesn't mention how the Saudi government is propping up Trump's struggling hotels in New York and Chicago

Or how the Saudis are spending vast sums at his hotel in DC

popular.info/p/the-saudi-mo…
3. The NYT doesn't mention how the Saudi government bought an entire floor of one of Trump's condo buildings in NYC

Thread: If you want to know how fake likes, loves and follows get industrialised on #Facebook, here's a good example from #Brazil.

The fakes boosted hyper-partisan posts in Mexico ahead of the election.

Fake engagement's an international business.

medium.com/dfrlab/electio…
Here are the reactions to two hyper-partisan Mexican posts, on different pages.

Note the number of accounts in common. Looks like an organised brigade.
Following the traces of the brigade led back to this account. Note the letters PCSD, which are diagnostic for this particular network.
