WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the White House is not surprised with reporting that shows Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) is struggling to stay on top of coronavirus and vaccine misinformation on its platform.

"We have seen the reporting, of course, and ... it is unfortunately, not surprising for us to hear that Facebook knew of these problems," Psaki said.

Are they surprised about the NY Post Hunter Biden scandal that F.B. blocked? Which literally won the election for Quid-Pro-Taliban-Joe?
Fb is in deep # because the left believe Fb helped Trump.
People have a right to reject the science. Good or bad, it's not the government's business.
Democrat Fascist Party of America considers misinformation anything that goes against the “narrative”
everything you've seen and your about to see in the left wing propaganda sites is hit job funded by a billionaire and stage managed by a prominent left wing PR firm... probably won't see that being addressed by saki.
Leftists consider anything that they disagree with to be "misinformation". This is nothing but an attempt to create a Ministry of Truth, since leftist ideology cannot stand up to debate and scrutiny they have to resort to fascism and censorship. The amount of things that we were told was "misinformation" that we know is truth is growing by the day. Conspiracy theorists have ben right a lot more than the media and White House lately.
