As Twitchy told you, ThinkProgress’ Judd Legum has been leading his outlet’s charge against Facebook. Why? Because Facebook had the temerity to allow the Weekly Standard to fact-check Ian Millhiser’s bogus hit piece on Brett Kavanaugh.
“ThinkProgress shared content that’s been reviewed by The Weekly Standard” is a quotation that tells you all you need to know about how messed up Facebook’s notion of “fact-checking” is pic.twitter.com/7Rl98tAJt3

And now ThinkProgress is mad. Real mad. And in Intercept DC bureau chief Ryan Grim’s mind, ThinkProgress needs to channel that anger into something more productive. Like a friggin’ lawsuit:
I hope Think Progress sues Facebook for this https://t.co/divgzdlpOA

He’s serious, you guys.
How are you a real person?

I hope Weekly Standard sues Ryan for saying Think Progress should sue Facebook for Think Progress being mad about Facebook linking to Weekly Standard saying Think Progress was full of s**t.

Oh god, now Ryan's going to sue me for saying I hope Weekly Standard sues Ryan for saying Think Progress should sue Facebook for Think Progress being mad about Facebook linking to Weekly Standard saying Think Progress was full of s**t.

Snort.
You want them to sue Facebook for censoring them for posting provable fake news? You all are a bunch of clowns. It’s all fun and games till it’s someone on YOUR side huh? pic.twitter.com/cSnP1XEciI

You cannot be serious. You only want fake news stopped when it benefits the other side?

Yeah, that’s pretty much the gist of their argument.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…. so you wanted fake news off Facebook but not liberal fake news. ??? pic.twitter.com/edIgkPqSpF

So much for all those Congressional hearing these twats were fapping about.

It was always about getting news and information THEY didn’t like off the internet. Liberals want to be the only ones lying on the internet.

Bingo.
Is this seriously how the left reacts to being fact checked? This tantrum today has been eye opening. You couldn't handle being a conservative for 10 minutes if you can't handle this.

That’s fine. We don’t want him anyway.
