Arrr, matey! Lead Stories be moanin' like a scallywag over Meta's ch-ch-changes! They reckon the cap'n be tryin' to steer the ship o' free speech while dodgin' the stormy seas o' political bias. Blimey, the winds be blowin' all askew, and we be all at sea!
Ahoy mateys! A ruckus be brewin’ in the realm of Facebook and its fact-checkin' crew, Lead Stories! This hearty band of truth-seekers, who’ve been toilin’ since 2019, be takin' umbrage at news that their partnership with Meta be sinkin’ to Davy Jones’ locker. Editor Maarten Schenk squawked that they be mighty disappointed to hear the news through the grapevine instead of from the captain’s own lips!Meta's big cheese, Mark Zuckerberg, be claimin’ that their fact-checkers be too biased and that they’re raisin’ the Jolly Roger to restore free speech. Lead Stories, filled with ex-CNN scallywags, be wonderin’ what manner of bias he be talkin’ about, since they followed the code of fairness like a well-trained parrot! They reckon that Zuckerberg's plan to shift towards a “Community Notes” system be as slow as a slug on a sunken ship!
Conservatives be cheerin’ this change, but Lead Stories be vowin’ to continue their quest for truth, albeit with a lighter load. They be shoutin’ from the crow’s nest that just 'cause somethin’ be trending, don’t make it true! So grab yer grog and keep a weather eye on this tempestuous tale of fact-checkin’ and free speech, for it be far from over! Arrr!
