<...> In its latest disastrous move to fight the online epidemic of fake news, Facebooks fact-checking effort announced last week that it was teaming up with CheckYourFact.com an arm of the conservative, anti-science media site The Daily Caller.
The Daily Caller, which has published misinformation about climate science for years, was co-founded by the science-denying Fox News host Tucker Carlson and is backed by major conservative donors, including Charles and David Koch, the billionaire fossil fuel barons who are the single biggest funders of climate science misinformation.
It is appalling that Facebook has teamed up with a Koch-funded organization that promotes climate change denial, leading climatologist Michael Mann told ThinkProgress.
