	6:42pm Brian D: BBC report on Russia misinformation "fake news sites:" www.bbc.com...
	6:42pm Smilty69: I still get my news on Drudge. He's a right-wing hack but he posts balanced articles.
	🤖 6:42pm Handy Haversack: ↳ joe mulligan @6:33 That ... seems to measure from fascist right to center right. There's nothing from anything you can actually call "left" on there. There is maybe the problem.
	6:43pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ tim @6:40 "Facts, I need facts!. No, innuendo, I need innuendo!"

	6:51pm SegFish: Wow, talk about disappointing! So you bring on a guy who works FOR the Poynter Institite to promote their super biased take on fact checking. According to his version of the world, the Russian govt puts out disinfo but the US govt does not., and FB is a more reliable source of news than a 'mushroom site'. Definitely the most disappointing episode of Tectonic i have ever heard
	6:51pm joe mulligan: ↳ joe mulligan @6:49 like mother jones etc?
