Two views at PolitiFact's FaceBook page (Updated)

Either the FaceBook interface is wonky or else PolitiFact has shenanigans going on other than inferior quality fact checking.  Check this out.

Interesting, no?

I know for a fact that my latter two posts in the top image have embedded links.  Well, the first one did, anyway (see update below).  The top post in that image contains no link.  There may be some default filter that removes some posts from the normal view, perhaps depending on whether they contain such links.

Makes for a great way to carry on a sham debate, doesn't it?

I'll be looking into this.


Update:

My first guess was wrong.

While logged out at FaceBook, I am able to find posts containing embedded links, including, at least on occasion, those authored by me.

So we're back to the wonk or shenanigan dilemma.
