'Community Notes offers both neutral fact-checking and context. But it's also shining a glaring spotlight on how many in the media have abandoned their job responsibilities under President Joe Biden...' -redsteeze
This is where Twitter’s Community Notes has picked up the slack.
Just this week, two tweets from the @POTUS account were corrected with additional context. The Biden @POTUS account tweeted,"One year after its launch, our Administration's 988 suicide and crisis hotline has helped 5 million Americans when they needed it most." Twitter’s Community Notes corrected the claim with the context that"This change was proposed in August of 2019, and it was signed into law on Oct 17, 2020 by President Donald J. Trump.
On the previous day, @POTUS tweeted,"Right now, real wages for the average American worker is higher than it was before the pandemic, with lower wage workers seeing the largest gains. That’s Bidenomics." Twitter’s community also corrected the president’s account on this with several notes, one stating,"The tweet’s claim about real wages contains a factual error. On 3/15/20 when U.S. COVID lockdowns began, real wages adjusted for inflation were $11.15.
These are just two recent examples of how Twitter’s community, which is made up of Twitter’s user base and is anonymous, is doing the job that media fact-checkers have stopped doing. At best, this new feature highlights how the media treats presidents differently. At worst, it makes the media look like a collective of biased political operatives who hold Democratic presidents to different standards.Stephen L.
