As Twitchy told you earlier this week, PolitiFact went to bat hard for AOC to save her from the mean ol’ meanies who criticized her for staging a weepy photo op outside of an empty parking lot at a Border Patrol facility. She wasn’t crying outside of an empty parking lot, you haters! She was crying outside of an empty road, which is totally different!
Was @AOC crying over a parking lot while protesting family separation? False, she was standing on a road to a migrant facility, which was in her line of gaze, and was just beyond the port of entry. https://t.co/iDpcPCzcwh

Well anyway, Jim Treacher at our sister site PJ Media covered PolitiFact’s absurd white-knighting as well by issuing an “IMPORTANT CORRECTION” to his original post from late June:
IMPORTANT CORRECTION: @AOC Was Weeping Over an Empty Road, Not an Empty Parking Lot https://t.co/qbP0UTqeOF #Trending via @pjmedia_com

As we all know, it’s important to make people aware of major corrections. But when Treacher attempted to post his corrected post to Facebook, Facebook tried to stop him:
Facebook actually flagged this because it's an empty road, not an empty parking lot. https://t.co/GIycSOSvBB #Trending via @pjmedia_com

We’d love to know what “false news” Treacher was attempting to share or publish. As far as we can tell, there was nothing false in his post.

This is how @Facebook and @PolitiFact punish you for criticizing @AOC and the rest of @TheDemocrats. They've picked a side, and we're not on it.
