WaPo lies and gets truth censored from Facebook
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articl...42328.html

Judicial Watch reported 8 Iowa counties had more registered voters than adults. WaPo lied and said they claimed there was massive voter fraud. And it also claimed they were wrong about 8, that it was only 1. But then reported it was 5. And used different dates than Judicial Watch did.


"...The effects of the Post’s reporting were not negligible. As a result of its story, Judicial Watch’s posts on Facebook and Instagram were taken down, raising questions about the power of the media and partisan officials to stop certain stories from being circulated – regardless of whether they are accurate or fair -- in their attempts to police facts.

Fitton isn’t hiding his frustration. “The data they're pointing to is actually consistent with our concerns and Facebook deletes our posts and suppresses our Instagram? Because a government official disputes our numbers?” he says, adding, “It's a terrible example of the government pressuring private so-called independent media to suppress something a government official doesn't like.”

Whether Fitton is right about the Iowa secretary of state’s intentions remains to be seen, and the accuracy of everybody’s numbers is still in dispute. What is indisputable is that inaccurate voter rolls are a significant problem in Iowa and the rest of the country. The Washington Post’s reporting seems designed to gloss over the problem rather than shine a light on it."
