Of all the claims made by San Francisco’s detractors, possibly the most puzzling to people who actually live in the Bay Area is the “poop map.”

Here’s the story:

In November 2014, web developer Jennifer Wong won a hack week contest at her job with Human Wasteland, an interactive map that plotted locations of feces reported to San Francisco’s street cleaners. It got mentions from some local media — the Bold Italic called it “playful” — and that was that, for a while.

But around the end of 2016, it started getting coverage of a different sort, as politically conservative media used it in condemnation of San Francisco.

RedState.com called the map an “overwhelming indictment of California’s approach to homelessness and lawlessness.” (RedState also incorrectly claimed that a hepatitis A outbreak in San Francisco prompted the governor’s declaration of a state of emergency.)

Last month, Rush Limbaugh repeated the error that Human Wasteland was an official city project and added of the homeless: “They have to go, and nobody’s told them they can’t! It’s liberalism! What do you expect?”

Such mentions spurred Wong to add a prominent note to the top of the Human Wasteland webpage: “I am tired of people and publications using this map in ways it was not meant to be used,” it reads. “I created this map to bring attention to the issue of homelessness. Not to insult people or places. Not to further political agendas unrelated to homelessness. Not to track anything. Not because it was necessary.”

The map is still online, but given that its data ends in 2015, it’s unlikely to be of service to San Francisco pedestrians.

This thread isn't about "teen boys"... sorry to disappoint you mvscal... errr "Eat a Penis".

By the way... the news source you referenced "owned it".

Yet, you and the Republicans keep perpetrating fake news.

CNN, etc.... had no choice but to settle a 475 million dollar lawsuit. Any attorney would've advised as such, due to the fact that they had zero chance of winning.

This of course is a crystal clear example of the death of real news, which had been corrupted for quite a while.

This was particularly egregious because it involved major news organizations attacking minors.
Their families received death threats as a result of their fake news lies.

And this was just one example out of thousands upon thousands of fake news stories, false narratives, biased propaganda, etc.....that we see every single day.

The left gains control of a free society by corrupting the press and academia.
They control the press and academia, just like the soviet socialists and nazi socialists controlled the press and academia.
That's how government control socialism gains power over the people.

Trump's presidency and his bringing public awareness to the corrupt media and press, has been a valuable tool to thwart left wing socialists, who've been dumbing down the education system for decades.

His re-election will further strengthen our founding principles of liberty and put Americans first.

Oh, and lest we forget, the DOJ will soon expose the massive criminal corruption of the previous administration.

Stay tuned......
