.@jwherrman: you hilite @CraigSilverman 's #BuzzFeed study that says "channel reco algorithm pushes users to more fringe/extreme chans, like Alex Jones". Jones is a hoot. You two are dangerous lil' fascists. BF/NYT have never told the whole truth about things like immigration.

.@CraigSilverman: #Facebook trusting Politifact, @Mantzarlis, Snopes, etc. is like if we trusted Trump to determine what's #FakeNews or true
