Based on what qualifications would they have earned that ability?

There lies the problem.  At the end of the day it requires not only careful research, but also a desire to be 100% objective and neutral when fact checking or removing content entirely.  80% effective in that endeavor doesn't make you "pretty good", it just makes you biased in the end.

Yes, case in point I've had friends say something conservative, just conservative nothing obscene or even false, just a conservative POV and the post was deleted from a FB moderator. Why? Because the FB mod is liberal and the poster is conservative, the one with power wins and that's dangerous imho.

I have some liberal friends, far left (although they deny it, go figure) and when you don't agree they go balls out ballistic, beyond crazy. It's almost like there's something wrong mentally, it's very strange, there's no room for a basic cordial discussion.
