Brilliant from The Daily Show.
Then Mika says that it's important to be civil. OK, Mom. We'll be nice to the bigot, fascist, sexual assaulter, thief, and liar and go kiss his ass at Mar a Lago like you.
Then sure enough, she brings that up under the guise of civility.

As for Meta, I am much more disturbed about replacing Nick Clegg with Trumpist Joel Kaplan and the new board members. Zuckerberg is not just obeying in advance, he is paying tribune in advance. The extremists are cheering for they called fact-checking censorship. BS.

Meta has a much deeper issue to address around alienation from communities, bigotry, fear, & othering. Fact-checking won't fix that. What's needed is social-science research, and that requires openness and data from Meta, about which they are only occasionally forthcoming.

I won't defend Meta here but I have a contrarian view: Fact-checking was not working and facts aren't the issue; belief and belonging are and that's a much deeper problem.
