Candace Owens
Case #
1366

Candace Owens' video discussing difference between the media's declaration of an election winner and the legal procedure required to declare a victor rated 'False' by fact-checkers: Owens’ video captioned “Joe Biden is literally and legally not the President-elect. So why is the media pretending he is?” was labeled "false" by Facebook fact-checker PolitiFact. The video discussed the public’s blind acceptance of the media’s declaration of an election winner versus the legal procedure required for victory to be called. Upon an appeal from Owens the label was removed and PolitiFact issued a correction admitting fault. Per Facebook's own policy the platform ensures fewer people see the post "by surfacing fact-check articles to users across our platforms and showing labels on top of false stories."
