One reason for the delay: The fact-checkers had to do their own reporting -- finding audio and digital forensics experts who could verify that the video had been manipulated

A group called Politics WatchDog posted the manipulated video of Pelosi -- which was slowed down to give the misimpression she was speaking in an impaired fashion at a think-tank event -- at 1:29 p.m. Eastern time on May 22. But it wasn't until after 9 p.m. on May 23, some 32 hours later, that Facebook began suppressing the video after a fact-check from one Facebook partner, LeadStories, was published.

Facebook doubles down on not removing fake Pelosi video 14:24"Once we publish [a fact-check], right away I go into the Facebook tool and I match the fact-check with the offending post," Katie Sanders, managing editor of Politifact, told CNN."The way it's supposed to work is it's supposed to de-amplify the reach of the post." Yet the altered Pelosi video remains available on Facebook, the company said, because it does not violate the platform's community standards.

Bullllllllssssshhhhitttt

What a farce. I’ve listen to pelosi live. She’s going senile. Sorry stop covering for her.

They just slowed it down FFS! 😂😂 you cry as if Skynet has reprogrammed your children.

Sounds like a Russian trick from Trumpski's bag of tricks!

Yea, because I’m sure you couldn’t have figured it out you know, by watching the actual footage from the talk. To hell with facebook . Has to be one of the worst run companies

They needed experts to verify that it was manipulated? I think simply comparing it with the actual original footage should have made it clear.

Pelosi needs to be doctored, she got dementia

Because there not doctored videos. There actually real clips.

How about fact checking you own network first

facebook are you removing the doctored video of Trump that jimmykimmel & other celebrities have shared? What’s that? Probably not .... thought so

Log and stay off Facebook! They do NOT have the country’s best interests at heart! FacebookSpreadsLies

Pelosi does slur her words all the time. The video exaggerated it more. Don't people watch her speak?

🙄

FAKE!!!

I sadly recall the massacre at Benghazi. O & H blamed a faux video. We are all warned...

Facebook is horrible a bunch of friend suggestions a lot of adds and instagram keeps sending fake friend requests possibly Russians trying to get on ur page b4 election time a bunch of scams it needs regulation no one is watching HouseDemocrats

Still waiting on fact checkers to reverse 2 years of Russia hoax reporting and the black hole that ate MH370....

wahh crybabies

Geez...they put the fire out at Chernobyl faster than Facebook took action on this.

Why would someone doctor that video?!?! All one had to do is watch the actual video and see her actually stumbling and mumbling through Q&A. It was BAD!!! I was like....

But she does slur her words doctored video or not. Watch her next news conference and you will slee.

Are you guys all insane? It’s a damn video on the internet. The bias is out of control. How many doctored videos of Trump have 100s of 1000s of retweets?

I - CALL - B-S

Sure, I believe everything.

A child can see how crudely the video was manipulated. In fact, Jimmy Kimmel uses similar techniques for a joke because it's so obvious. facebook lies to protect their power so they see no issue with others doing the same thing.

what ever happened to protected speech and political satire, that's what the video is. trying to hold Facebook accountable for what users post is ridiculous, how about we teach people how to look at the source of the content. FB does notify users content is fake.

It's Not about a Fake video, it's about Pelosi being a drunk.

The Spin is in.

Hey CNN, are all those layoffs just a deepfake ploy too? Or did Putin invade your company with his LEET Spetznaz hackerz to make you lose money and have to fire even more people, after you said that wouldn’t happen? Who you blaming for your failure this time? Legacy Media is DOA.

The left hates memes and wants them banned.

RUBBISH

It wasn’t doctored

Anderson Cooper was mad about that

Who cares...freedom of speech...

It actually was barely doctored so this is yet more fake news. For some reason CNN has become the Pelosi cheerleader

Facebook needs to be bettered prepared because this is, what is happening now, the future. Come on Facebook, get it in gear! Predict the future and then be ready to fix it when it happens!

Which should tell you just how “doctored” it was. MountainOutOfMolehill

Like all facebook excuses for its continual moral failures this is a lie. Facebook is one of the most dangerous threats the world’s democracies face. We must work toward breaking up this abusive psycho warfare machine DeleteFacebook BreakUpFacebook

Facebook needs to be dismantled

Don’t care about Pelosi! MSM and the left sold our country! The truth is out and you will be crashed with nowhere to go. You, traitors deserved it all. Go ahead, keep protecting illegals and their countries instead of your own.

Uffa

Bullshiet

George Orwell was a time traveler

She does slur her words.

It was doctored!? Wow, but it seems so real, to me she speaks like that most of time.

LMFAO. FAKENEWSCNN acts like they would never use anything doctored ....if i remember correctly it wasnt too long ago that NBC and CNN were using doctored 911 call? And Nancy has been stammering for years...Scotch will do that....and vicodin...

Like all social media, FB has made mistakes but not everything is always their fault. This one wasn't.

CNN is to fast to even find facts first to push out so called news it not Facebook's fault you didn't do your research in the first place. Stop will the excuses you didn't know it your 1 job to find the truth. It is not make it up or push it as if it is.

I don’t understand why they had to act on it at all. It’s just slowed down a bit. More people have seen it now than ever would have seen it otherwise. So stupid.

Hudge difference between ‘doctored’ and ‘edited’

Only one day? Too bad they couldn't work that fast when it came to the Covington kids!

There’s something wrong with Pelosi. She can’t put sentences together, always shaking. She’s unfit and needs to retire and focus on her health.

It's obvious she has a problem with her slurring words and not making any sense much of the time.

And because there are soooooooooo many other videos of Pelosi slurring her words.

So Pelosi became a GIF... happens to the best of ‘em. No different than satire - late night talk shows and SNL have been doing it for decades. Scary if those on social media can’t figure this out.

Time to shut down Facebook)

NEW: Finally, The Angry 'Trump Must Be Impeached' Video You've Been Waiting For (WATCH NOW)

Shows how unprepared social media is for video manipulation, wait until high quality deep fakes start showing up.

Who cares!?! It’s Facebook. I go there to see entertainment, not news.

If they can't handle a single video how will they handle the election?

What’s wrong CNN, fake news isn’t working? 😄

Because they are on the Trump Train

finkd Facebook is just pathetic. The pretexts and excuses presented are just pathetic. They clearly have too much power, give a crab about criticism and should be split up.

How does it feel CNN? I bet the whole staff is sad that CNN is failing? You people should learn from MarkDice

If all doctored videos of politicians are removed; how would anyone be able to stay in their own reality!

on top of over reporting on this “doctored” video yet they can’t even get a handle on reporting facts in their own news

For crying out loud. People have no sense of humor, well unless its Saturday night live What a bunch of crybabies and a bias FAKENEWSCNN cooper

Lol poor ole demented Nancy ...🧟‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤡

That wasn’t doctored. Doctored is when Trump dumped fish food and “somebody” didn’t show Abe doing the same thing.

facebook is obsolete

Really? An 8yr old with two working eyeballs could tell you the video is doctored in about 5 seconds.

A new conspiracy for Maddow and the rest of the hacks on MSNBC, and CNN to report on for the next 6 months while the world moves around them,

That is do bs

A blind man could have told them!

If the video is used by Russia or a Russian affiliated organization, then Facebook must take down the video. I question the motives of those who fight to keep material such as this visible...

Where was when doctored trump videos surfaced?

Sure lol with all the money she makes being a politician.

Downloaded everything off of facebook today and will be deleting forever

Or you could have just looked at the doctored video and the original video and come to that conclusion without an expert.

The video Trump shared was NOT edited. The one from Facebook was slowed down. For the record.

Because it’s not a fucken big deal

Facebook on fake Pelosi video: Being 'false' isn't enough for removalFacebook said that a video doctored to depict Nancy Pelosi slurring her words will remain on the social network because false information alone does not violate the site's rules I really need to delete Facebook. You know the most untrustworthy woman on Capital hill used to be Hillary Clinton where 90% of Americans now know how much she deceived and continues to deceive but now Nancy Pelosi has taken over the role of the most untrustworthy woman on Capital hill. So MarkZuckelberg - I guess facebook is not interested in honoring it’s commitment to all of its corporate values?! How does perpetuating lies equate to “Building real value for the world”?
