MRC's CNSNews

Facebook fact-checked a screenshotted Brent Bozell tweet about energy independence: CNSNews posted a graphic that included a tweet by MRC Founder and President Brent Bozell. The tweet read "[t]he day before Joe Biden took office, the U.S. was energy independent." CNSNews captioned the post saying "[w]hen Joe Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline, he destroyed American energy independence." 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.
