Changes

On January 6, 2017, the Internet Archive launched the "Trump Archive," announced by Nancy Watzman in a blog post. Despite its name, the collection was made to put Trump in a negative light. The Trump Archive consists of clips of [[mainstream media]] sources (such as [[ABC]] and [[CNN]]) to [[fact check]] Trump's statements. It openly invites Wikipedians to use the resources. The blog mentions that the archive is an experimental model for creating archives for other public officials. However, they did go on to mention that would do the same for other politicians, regardless of party affiliation.<ref>https://archive.ph/TagRf</ref> As of 2021, their only sub-collections under the Executive Branch Archive (of which the Trump Archive is a sub-collection) is of Republican politicians, but using clips from mainstream media sources (including Fox) rather than raw footage. This suggests that Internet Archive is quietly working on [[historical revisionism]] to influence future generations.<ref>https://archive.org/details/executive_branch_archive ([https://archive.ph/hPx6Z archive])</ref>

On October 30, 2020, another employee of the Internet Archive, Mark Graham, announced that they would implement a fact checker within the Wayback Machine to point out issues about "false and misleading information," which makes their goal to revise history more evident, and the phrase discouraged people from thinking for themselves. The first photograph in the blog uses a [[CNN]] article from May 1, 2017 titled "What the GOP health care bill really says about pre-existing conditions." It displays a small, yellow notice saying that [[Politifact]] has fact checked the article. However, it also posted unique context on a [[Medium]] article that was removed. At the end of the blog post, the Internet Archive thanked the following organizations, including from fake news sources: [[FactCheck.org]], [[Check Your Fact]], [[Lead Stories]], [[Politifact]], [[Washington Post]] Fact-Checker, [[AP News]] Fact Check, [[USA Today]] Fact Check, [[Graphika]], [[Stanford Internet Observatory]], and [[Our.news]].<ref>https://archive.ph/pQHcW</ref>
