Most fact-checkers lean much more to the left than the right.
What do you think that can lead to when "fact checking"?
I have seen the reputable ones that "fact checked" parties on both The Left and The Right.
Much more trustworthy than having someone like Musk conducting his own "Fact Checking"!!
When most fact checking media outlets are left leaning it leaves less non-partisan opportunities to others.
Community Notes are not Musk doing "his own fact checking". It's crowd sourced.
Don't spread misinformation.
Obviously, you are not keeping up with how Musk has reinstated those posting some real fake and dangerous posts on twitter in the past.
Bullshit about "crowd sourced"!! The so called Community Notes are not "Fact Checked" based on actual facts, but a political bias.
One such example is:
What is Community Notes, and how will it work on Facebook and Instagram?
Meta shocked the tech world this week by moving to overhaul its approach to fact checking. Here's what the changes mean for social media users.

Nope...this study says different and was much more thorough with a larger sample.Obviously, you are not keeping up with how Musk has reinstated those posting some real fake and dangerous posts on twitter in the past.

Then why is it that Meta's "Community Notes" applies only to the USA, and after the donation of $1 Million to the Trump inauguration?
It is copied from X's platform. Well, well if it is supposed to be a "more reliable" form of fact checking, then why has it not also been implemented on Facebook in the UK and EU.
The answer is simple, much more stricter penalties applies, as the responsibility for the content lies with the platforms such as Facebook and X!!
Meta hasn't even implemented it yet in the US but will start there and then inevitably move to other countries like X did.
I'm not sure what your argument is here?
It will be implemented in the USA in the not too distant future. The only reason to now cave in to Trump, is for the following reason:
Meta eliminates fact-checking in latest bow to Trump
Facebook and Instagram owner Meta says it’s scrapping its third-party fact-checking program and replacing it with “community notes” written by users similar to the model used by Elon Musk’s social platform X.

Now that Zuckerberg has become an ass kisser, Trump has confirmed it based on his threats!!
O would love to see women having to register for selective service. It is, imo one of the final glass ceilings that need to be broken to show true equality between the sexes.
I have no doubt all feminists will support this........
Interesting point.
I'm kind of conservative in that I think some type of mandatory service should be required for all young people.
I think it's an all in or all out thing. We got rid of it here. But in a way it's a form of slavery. Especially because the rich kids tend to always get deferment. But giving a govt the power to force its population to fight and die for something they don't believe in is about as anti freedom as it gets.
They found that out the hard way in Vietnam how useless a fighting force you get.
I can't remember the last time I met a feminist who was opposed to this unless they were opposed to the selective service system existing at all for men or women.
Selective service, of course, doesn't do anything other than note that you exist as a draftable person if a mandatory thing ever comes back.
It isn't even tied to things like federal loans and such anymore, if I recall. That's why they wanted to make it automatic instead of making people do it. (Since you can get penalized for not doing it, even if there is nothing reminding you to do so.)
As for an actual national service program, I've seen arguments on both sides for it and there is also all kinds of nuance about whether or not it has to be military service.
Vietnam wasn't lost because of the effectiveness of the American fighting force. Coming off the U.S. experience in Korea, the U.S. thought it could replicate their limited success in that conflict. In retrospect, the Republic of Korea (South Korea) now looks like a major success.
Anyway, nation building as it is now called is extremely difficult as we have seen again in Afghanistan. It doesn't have anything to do with the military prowess of the occupier/nation builder.
Ah yes, when someone decides they are not supporting the Democrats any longer and decide to support Trump, they are suddenly a [insert derogatory name here].It will be implemented in the USA in the not too distant future. The only reason to now cave in to Trump, is for the following reason:

Got it.
Not so long ago the righties on this Board were accusing the George Soros donations to the Democrats as "Highly Corrupt". But the Musk, Zuckerberg and other Corporate Heads financial assistance to Trump pales in comparison. That is even considering awarding Musk a position in his Government. Trump is even okay with Musk purchasing TikTok. A possible violation of ethics and real corruption!!
What does all that have to do with lefties supporting people until those people decide they prefer to support Trump, then the lefties demonize them?
Trump's revenge tour commences on one of his own. Imagine that, Biden allows Bolton to keep his security detail yet, Trump yanks it away. Hmmmm, I guess God will have to save Bolton from a bullet as he did for Trump placing it into the fireman instead of Trumputin.
Hear what Bolton thinks Trump pulling Secret Service detail means for him
Hear what Bolton thinks Trump pulling Secret Service detail means for him
Did not the righties demonize the Democrats with this Soros crap in the past? Now that Trump is getting these richest oligarchs to donate heavily to his team, and even encourage Musk to dish out cash to his supporters during the campaign that would have been considered to be bribery under normal campaign regulations. Of course with the Republicans controlling both the House and Senate, this will not be investigated!!
