George Santos Praises Facebook's Decision to Eliminate Fact-checking

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—The decision by Facebook’s parent company Meta to eliminate fact-checking was “long overdue,” the former congressman George Santos said on Wednesday.

“For far too long, Facebook has been a haven for people hell-bent on spreading facts,” said Santos, who said he was making his statement from the International Space Station.

“I commend Facebook’s decision, and I know that my fellow Beatles agree with me,” he added.

Praising Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg for “freeing Facebook from the tyranny of accuracy,” he declared, “I say this as a citizen, a patriot, and the NHL’s all-time scoring leader.”
