The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

The official CDC website is being scrubbed of mentions of transgender and LGBTQ issues. I just took this screen recording. When you click on the link for Transgender and Gender Diverse Persons- it doesn’t just take you to a “page could not be found”. It goes to an STI page. Shameful.

Fact-checking wasn’t “biased” against conservatives. Conservatives just shared more false content. If there’s a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it’s not “biased” for the ref to call four times as many fouls against that team.

Meta is dropping fact-checking to avoid anti-conservative bias- but is there actually evidence of bias?
We this test empirically & find that conservatives

* BUT share more misinfo
So suspension isn't necessarily evidence of bias www.nature.com/articles/s41...
