popular.info
In April 2019, Facebook announced it was adding The Daily Caller, the right-wing site founded by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, to its fact-checking program.

This misinformation scheme just gets thicker and thicker. Thanks for taking such detail to explain why the Daily Caller being used as a fact checker is ludicrous. I do this in my work in appeals and I know it is often laborious to set the record straight.
Zuckerburg is an evil little shrew. A coward who bows to the right. It's amazing that these right wing lunatics are able to spew this misinformation and their lies so casually. This is just disgusting.

Alternate facts presented so often become truth
