SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Tell me about the issue with you and Facebook now, I found that fascinating.
TOM FITTON: Yes, so the left is trying to suppress conservative content on Facebook, and the dispute that we're having about what the data shows and what datasets you should be looking at. They've tried to -- successfully pressure Facebook into suppressing our information. There is nothing inaccurate about our data. The only fight is that they suggested the data should be looked at, a different set of data should be looked at, and we say well, that's not as reliable as our material.

HANNITY: "False information in this post," and then you get a choice to share anyway, see fact check, and cancel. "Independent fact checkers at Lead Stories say this post has false information."
Oh, they're going to determine -- are they going to do it with the phony dossier? Are they going to do it with the premeditated fraud on the FISA court that they never dealt with at all? Now they're going to decide? It's unbelievable, so you have Facebook, quote, "fact-checks box users, what -- they get this information when they post this," it's insane. We put it up on Hannity.com.

HANNITY: You do know this, right? Lynda gave this to me earlier today, that the so-called fact-checker, or the Lead Page's fact-checker, oh, staff writer, Lead Stories, former CNN senior producer, writer for CNN's quote "health team", telling narratives about life in the unfolding drama of the world we live in? Oh, excuse me, is that the guy?
