During a speaking event at Hunter College, Hillary Clinton also criticized Facebook:
“When Facebook refused to take down a fake video of Nancy Pelosi, it wasn’t even a close call.”
Clinton then denounced the video itself as “sexist trash.”
Fake News in America
Over the past few years, talk about fake news in America has dominated. In many cases, the existence of fake news happens for the purpose of promoting a narrative or idea which may or may not be accurate.
There are currently debates about whether the doctored Pelosi video serves as an example of fake news. Some Americans have stated that since Facebook won’t remove the altered footage, they should issue a disclaimer that it’s not real.
