Zuckerberg Denies Suppressing Conservative News [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 15 May 2016 | John Semmens

Reports that Facebook moderators routinely suppress trending news favorable to conservatives were vigorously denied by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who claimed "I don't even know who the leaders of the conservative movement are. So how can I or my employees be biased against them?"

This is the second display of ideological bias to issue from Zuckerberg this year. Earlier, the Facebook executive berated employees for abusing a company-granted "freedom-of-expression" policy to write "all lives matter" on a wall devoted to free expression in the company's Melo Park, California headquarters. "I could not allow the insensitivity toward the 'Black lives matter' meme to sneak in under the protection of so-called 'freedom of speech,'" Zuckerberg explained. "Freedom must be used responsibly and appropriately. No one has the right to utter opinions that are hurtful to others."

Zuckerberg offered to "meet with alleged leaders of the conservative moment, if there are any of reputable stature, to discuss whatever objections they may raise to the way I run my company. However, this should not be construed as a capitulation to demands that I modify my policies. Facebook will never become a haven for anti-social and anti-progressive elements to air their perverted views."

Zuckerberg is in “Menlo Park, CA” .. not Melo Park .. I know; I used to live there. It is in the heart of Silicon Valley, and 90% of the people there are flaming liberals.

There is no reason to suspect Zuckerberg would consider it unusual to suppress Conservative thought.

My problem is this .. when are the conservatives going to realize that Facebook and Twitter are only there for the Liberals to play .. since very few of them work very hard at anything.

I never Facebook; I never Twitter; I NEVER WILL; I consider both locations a complete waste of time.
