Fact check? Yeah I can see why you'd be upset about that. How'd that pizzagate investigation go?

Why are you defending a known nazi colaborator?

Who's defending him. I'm just making of all the pants wetting that goes on on the right whenever someone says Soros' name.

No worse my ass. Having a bias isn't quite the same as fabricating and propagating outright lies. That's another fail at false equivelence from you. Seems to be a pattern.

Which is exactly what hose sites do. They frabricate stuff all the time.

I'm really glad the Obama, Hillary, and the rest will be wandering in the political forest for the foreseeable future, or they would have surely given these "one truth'ers" enforcement privileges. I hope Facebook is smarter than this. I never went to face book for news in the first place, and I wouldn't know where to find "news". This is really stupid. California stupid. That special stupid that they get in this state that they seem to think everyone agrees with them. Facebook is going to get burned and spit roasted.

Eh well, Facebook is a private company. And a social network. They should do what they want. And anyone who goes there for news deserves what they get, fake or 'fact'.

But ... what if it's true?

The Times interviewed James Goldston, the president of ABC News, which is one of the participants in Facebook’s fact-checking partnership, to learn more about the effort.
How did the partnership with Facebook come about?
James Goldston: We’ve been very aware of the talks about fake news through this whole election cycle. I think we regard this as a core tenet of our public service, which is to give the American people the real facts and information they can use to help make their decisions.
When we heard Facebook was looking at ways to deal with the fake news issue, we were keen to get involved. And we have pretty deep links with our partners at Facebook. We’ve done virtual reality initiatives with Facebook; we were the streaming source for the election. We have very good contacts there, and were eager to get on board.

So ... I know it's been a few days, but is this one of those things that started as a "not true" but has morphed into a "what difference does it make?"
Whatever ... the extra piece of information that popped up in the research is that the Soros guy (Goldston) who'll be involved in Facebook's unending search for truth is also ABC's President (pretty cool, huh?)...but the NYT only managed to mention the ABC connection.

A viral image purportedly showing a young George Soros in a Nazi SS uniform actually depicts an Auschwitz guard named Oskar Groening.

linkypoo...​

Yet another right winger duped by fake news and propogating it.

Also, Soros was born in 1930 making him all of 11 when the war started between the US and Germany. :lol:

Kids were nazi collaboraters, too. He even said it was the happiest time of his life.

Not only is he a nazi collaborator, he's a convicted criminal.

BS... the echo chamber lies, you lap it up. Tell me what he did.

Meanwhile, I'll fill you in with facts for you to ignore:

This is what actually happened. Shortly after George went to live with Baumbach, the man was assigned to take inventory on the vast estate of Mor Kornfeld, an extremely wealthy aristocrat of Jewish origin. The Kornfeld family had the wealth, wisdom, and connections to be able to leave some of its belongings behind in exchange for permission to make their way to Lisbon. Baumbach was ordered to go to the Kornfeld estate and inventory the artworks, furnishings, and other property. Rather than leave his “godson” behind in Budapest for three days, he took the boy with him. As Baumbach itemized the material, George walked around the grounds and spent time with Kornfeld’s staff. It was his first visit to such a mansion, and the first time he rode a horse. He collaborated with no one and he paid attention to what he understood to be his primary responsibility: making sure that no one doubted that he was Sandor Kiss.

WTF are you talking about? Here you are again failing to provide proof of your original claim that he was a nazi collaborator and are now moving the goal post to insider trading in 2011. You are not going to weasel out of this lie of yours.

Nazi collaborator... I debunked it and you are still lying about it.

Here you are dodging the that that Soros is a convicted criminal. :lamo

Your side seems to have a lot of criminal activity. Why is that?

You have one that broke Federal law. You have a rapist and a convicted criminal and nazi collaborator.

I bet you still can't believe that the Democrats got their asses handed to them. :lamo

Nazi collaborator. Back it up liar.

We all know you will keep shifting the goal posts. All because you were duped by a fake news story again.

Its already been proven time-and-again. So, unless you have something more than name calling, I'm done.

Last word!

It's not true. It is a lie. You bought the lie. You got caught spreading the lie.

So I agree that it is best you tuck tail and run.
