harvey provides news from a very huge up perspective. we started to get news actual facts and figures from the ground and i started to broadcast saw the ultimate goal was to tell the truth to tell the anger side of the story and to advocate. because it is under reported reported their reporting that mass rapes occur. there has been effectively a scorched earth campaign against the ranger but i'll go to where the miners are going to be done that i would have the it's you know women children have been executed along with men range of vision t.v. help to sort of counter this idea that it is just a targeted operation to weed out revenge militants. but they're of course branded as brazen propaganda and they've been targeted with relentless attempts to discredit them we saw at the start of the crisis in august range of vision t.v. and very accurately reporting what was going on the number of people that were fleeing the scale of the violence. and that information wasn't used by international media at all because there's been such a fuss made b

these things look like news they function like news they're shared like news they don't match up with traditional ideas of what news is for and what it should do. facebook is in the middle of this they are the people they are the the company that can see all of this and make judgments about it. i think they would prefer not to have to do that. adam schrader is a journalist who used to edit stories for facebook's trending news section part of his job was to filter out fake news. we operated like a newsroom it was structured like a news room copy editors had you know would make sure that the topics met standards make sure that they were unbiased checked facts there were often times a fake articles would appear and present themselves as possibly being a legitimate trending topic and our job was you know identifying those and the original terms blacklisting. in the heat of the campaign right wing commentators accuse the team of bias facebook sack the team head of the job to an algorithm an algorithm cannot do the job of a trained journalist they don't have the ability to reason artificial
