If You’re Looking For Misinformation, Go To Sarah Palin’s Facebook Page

[Lakhota]

Sarah Palin’s Facebook page spreads a lot of misinformation.

Almost 5 million people “like” her page.

Sarah Palin, the 2008 vice presidential candidate and former Alaska governor, has over 4.7 million “likes” on Facebook. Almost 4.3 million people have opted to follow her updates, many of which are not true.

Many of Palin’s updates are personal in nature ― like when she shares videos of her son Trig or blogs written by her daughter Bristol ― or feature inspirational stories. But Palin, a former contributor to Fox News, also regularly has misleading or fake posts about news and politics on her Facebook page.

On Wednesday, Palin’s page featured a story from the conservative website Breitbart News that claimed President Barack Obama awarded himself a Distinguished Public Service medal from the Department of Defense. That is not true ― Defense Secretary Ash Carter gave the medal to the president.

OMG, it only get worse! Is she simply too dumb to know the difference between fact and fiction? Actually, Sarah has always been a purveyor of bullshit. Unbelievable...

obama gave himself the award. Ash Carter, an underling handed the award to him. It would not be much of a ceremony if little o picked the award up off the table.

Having Ash Carter do the deed is like having a private award the medal of honor. It wouldn't happen. This award is embarrassing.

OK, Sarah Palin IS a loon.

Stop insulting the OP. If you are not going to address the subject do not post in the thread

Shouldn't this be in the media forum?

I'm not sure how it's "politics".

Palin is a politician. Facebook is not the media, it is a social media website. There is a difference.

Oh Gawd! PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome). Really? In 2017? Man, is this OP not seriously deranged? He or she really should seek help. I'm not joking.

Yes we know, it's a sad constant theme on this site.

Only morons look to Palin for leadership. The OP is just being petty though.
