MRC NewsBusters

Facebook fact-checked a screenshotted Sen. Marsha Blackburn tweet about energy independence: MRC Newsbusters posted a graphic that included a tweet by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). The tweet read "[t]he Keystone pipeline decreased our decreased our reliance on the Kremlin, and Joe Biden closed it." MRCTV captioned the post saying "[l]earn more in our mini-doc Killing Keystone: https://rumble.com/vr2mjl-killing-keystone-how-biden-and..." Facebook claimed that the post was "missing context" and cited an AFP fact-check article that conflated the term "energy independence" with "energy isolation." MRC Free Speech America's research found that other experts and even other fact-checkers openly disagreed with AFP's evaluation of energy independence.
