5 mins of listening to the debate on NPR takeaways:

- I thought Biden sounded mostly lucid, but then all of a sudden he made this weird sound like “oooagggjh” and then said excuse me and kept going. It was really fucking weird. I felt like I heard his dentures slipping a few times. Also, I noticed he occasionally uses really small words for a politician. Maybe he got that early stage dementia.
- tulsi sounds like a mahu. Want to cage that boy clit and bust that bussy.
- was somewhat surprised to hear Warren say we shouldn’t be in the Middle East. I always thought of her as being about bombing those brown people, but more liberal socially.

I think what we did to the Kurds is awful, but I don’t for one second stay awake worrying about Turks fighting Russians fighting Saudis fighting Iranians fighting Israelis. That whole part of the world is a mess and if Russia thinks they can fix it, we should let them try. They won’t be able to any more than we were, but they are a lot smaller and poorer country to try to fuck around with that shit for the next 20 years too.

... officials are growing frustrated because they are mainly being forced to learn about what these officials divulged from news reporters. There is no White House counsel present in the room and officials are not given transcripts or readouts after they leave, one person told CNN.

The White House sent an eight-page letter declaring war on the inquiry by deeming it unconstitutional -- but officials have been unable so far to prevent officials from complying with requests and subpoenas.

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/10/15/politics/subpoenas-trump-impeachment-white-house-democrats/index.html


So the geniuses on the whitehouse legal team are trying to intimidate the inquiry the same way lawyers intimidate people who can't pay for a lawyer.

No, this really was shitty, when Biden kept trying to take credit for the CFPB and telling Warren she owed its success to him and she had to pause and thank him like a good housewife thanks her husband for food on the table. It shows who he is.

May 16, 2017 Alexios Mantzarlis

Fake news stories are often extremely easy to debunk. Fact-checking “Pope Francis endorses Donald Trump” required little more than an analysis of papal interviews and an email to the Vatican press office. Some fakers don’t even bother writing up an article to back up their hoax headlines.

Yet by the time fact-checkers arrive on the scene of a fake, it may be too late to correct the perceptions of thousands who saw the headline bouncing around their News Feeds.

Maarten Schenk, a Flemish developer, thinks he has built a tool that can reduce the head start that fakers enjoy over debunkers. Much like Tweetdeck, Trendolizer lets users populate columns that update automatically from selected sources. Unlike Tweetdeck, these sources are not tweets but links with many Facebook likes.
Quote
Silverman has tried out Trendolizer and expects to subscribe to the service soon. He thinks Trendolizer is “not just a fact-checkers’ tool” and is mostly interested in the fingerprinting features that will help his team maintain a database of suspect sites.

For users to get the most out of the tool, however, he thinks users will have to take the time to build source sets that are relevant to the areas they want to monitor. “People need to know what they are looking for,” he said.

This is a key challenge of debunking fake news: You never really know where the next big viral story will come from next. Inaccurate claims by public figures come from more predictable places like speeches, TV interviews, press briefings, Twitter. Viral hoaxes, on the other hand, can come seemingly from nowhere.

The debunking site Snopes has also tested Trendolizer. Founder David Mikkelson said that “in general, fact-checkers do need tools that will help them spot misinformation faster.”

Unless working fact-checkers actually deploy the tool as part of their workflow it will be hard to evaluate to what extent Trendolizer can actually deliver faster spotting of fakes and faster debunking. At $350 per month, it may also be too expensive for some smaller fact-checking organizations. Regardless, Trendolizer points to a future where fact-checkers track misinformation in a more systematic manner.

Debunking misinformation and disinformation online is now a point of focus for many news organisations across the world, whether the teams consist of specialised fact-checkers or reporters who are taking on a new task.

The small team behind Lead Stories, a website highlighting trending stories on social media, moved towards debunking popular articles online a couple of months ago.

Maarten Schenk, who developed Trendolizer, the search tool powering Lead Stories, spoke to Journalism.co.uk about his process of finding these articles and looking for red flags that might point out they have no basis in fact.

Trendolizer, which is backed by Alan Duke and Perry Sanders, tracks between 300,000 and 400,000 links per day, assessing the number of likes they receive per hour to determine their popularity.

Schenk set up a “fake news” dashboard designed with separate columns in a similar manner to Tweetdeck.

His searches are based on lists of “prank websites”, political clickbait sites with “two or three words in all caps” in the headline, straight up satire sites, and partisan left and right wing websites.

"A lot of the sites have hidden disclaimers," explained Schenk, adding that for political clickbait websites, an easy way to check whether the source quoted in the text is legitimate is by searching for a particular quote on other news websites known to be trustworthy.
Quote
Lead Stories has been linked to as a source of debunks by the BBC and BuzzFeed.

At this stage, access to Trendolizer is priced at request, although a network of websites by Schenk, such as StoryTide or Trump Tide, publish links to the top 30 stories on a number of topics at any given time.

He is also hoping to find new partners for Trendolizer, to help expand its reach. "If we get 500 likes, we haven't made a dent in the story," he said.

February 24th, 2014.

U.S.-based Distractify, one of those digital media startups that are all about making content go as viral as possible (ŕ la Upworthy, Viral Nova and BuzzFeed), has made a small acquisition.

The company, which was founded by 21-year old Quinn Hu, has picked up a site called Trendolizer, which started out as a hobby project.

The deal terms are undisclosed.

Trendolizer was started by Belgian native Maarten Schenk as a hobby project. Schenk, who studied at the University of Antwerpen and previously worked on Movable Type at Six Apart, will join Distractify as its ‘lead data engineer’.

Trendolizer automatically detects (potentially) popular stories, videos, links and whatnot, collecting a large number of links from a variety of sources (Reddit, Twitter, etc.) and then employing the Facebook API and a ranking algorithm to find out which ones are currently trending.

That’s obviously very valuable technology and expertise for a site like Distractify, which makes a living out of making content go viral.

According to a recent profile on Distractify, the site attracted 21 million unique visitors worldwide in November 2013 alone (after launching a month earlier).

In the same month, Schenk notes that Trendolizer reached 400,000 visitors.

History

Founded in 2015, Lead Stories is a fact checker and hoax/rumor debunker that uses the International Fact-Checking Network fact-checkers’ code of principles as a guide for all fact checking. According to their about page “Lead Stories is mainly written by Maarten Schenk and Alan Duke. Maarten is based in Europe (Belgium) while Alan is in the United States of America (California). Administrative and legal affairs are handled by Perry R. Sanders of Sanders Law Firm in Colorado Springs.”

More from the about page: “Since February 2019 we are actively part of Facebook’s partnership with third party fact checkers. Under the terms of this partnership we get access to listings of content that has been flagged as potentially false by Facebook’s systems or its users and we can decide independently if we want to fact check it or not. In addition to this we can enter our fact checks into a tool provided by Facebook and Facebook then uses our data to help slow down the spread of false information on its platform. Facebook pays us to perform this service for them but they have no say or influence over what we fact check or what our conclusions are, nor do they want to.”

Funded by / Ownership

According to their about page Lead Stories LLC is a Colorado company formed by Maarten Schenk (Belgium), Alan Duke (California), Perry R. Sanders (Colorado) and John C. Goede (Florida). The company is self-funded with no outside investors and relies on advertising revenue and license fees for the use of the Trendolizer™ engine and is also funded with revenue derived from Facebook’s third party fact checking partnership.
