It’s been a charge repeated over and over that Facebook’s fact-checking of posts are biased against conservatives. Now Facebook itself has added fuel to the fire. In a lawsuit filing, the company quietly acknowledged that its “fact-checking” program is really all about “opinion.” Jordan Boyd at The Federalist has the story.
It’s not the kind of article you expect to see at Literary Hub. Writer Chelsea Leah, an acknowledged non-Christian, makes a case for eliminating the genre of “Christian fiction,” because, she says,those books shuld be considered part of general fiction. She even acknowledges how much she enjoys reading the “powerful stories” of Christian fiction.
A good case can be made that the artist who likely had his best year ever, and better than just about any other artist living or dead, is Vincent Van Gogh. Exhibitions, sales of his works, and the “immersive experiences” are recounted by Van Gogh expert and author Martin Bailey at The Art Newspaper.
