“Breaking News on this site leans right.”
No. It leans to stuff like: What are the top 10 tunes about pets, and similar.
So if progressives do something conservatives should disenpower themselves and not do the same thing if it’s a useful tactic.
Said every liberal republican.
Yes we should boycott, yes we should hold demostrations, yes we should stand up for our liberty.
They claim to be all for fairness and diversity. Diversity of thought includes a conservative point of view. Do they “owe” us a conservative voice. No of course not. The whole article was shooting fish in a barrel. Will they provide more of a conservative voice so they appear more fair to conservatives? Maybe so, just to deal with their own internal desire to promote diversity, or to enhance their reputation? This is why pressure on them to show more of a conservative point of view is good. Not because they legally “owe it” to anyone, but because it may be in their own best self interests.
Not exactly. Not at all. The pearl-clutching Derek refers to constantly is a red herring.
The truth of it is that Suckerberg is a NPD multi-billionaire whose political dollars align mostly with Soros/Sanders. Thus disrupting is acceptable, including Thune subpoenas, whatever.
I use the old method of teaching bank tellers how to spot counterfeit bills as an example ...
When your eyes, hands and brain are so thoroughly saturated with what a real bill is, the moment a counterfeit shows up, you kust know something's wrong
You may not be able to identify what element is counterfeit, but your training and conditioning kicks in and you spot the counterfeit
Proper and good language instruction minimises the ability to be fooled but what or how people say things
It doesn't matter whether you leave politics off FB or not - Facebook knows every single preference you have, they know what you are most likely to click on, they know where else you go on the internet, and they sell every scrap of this information to any buyer who wants it (and give it to the government for quid pro quo).
If you think Facebook is "free", it is because you are the product being bought and sold...
It’s a sleazy, irresponsible company run by greedy liberal hacks who deserve to rot in Hell for all eternity.
But no, they don’t owe me anything.
The only people I know who are really, really into Facebook and other social media are all either former 60’s era hippies or former 70’s era punks who are all screaming, raging libs.
Everyone else I know is quiet, conservative, has a life and is living it w/O social media.
This might explain why these nuts think “everybody” agrees with them on extreme left issues and why they have such a bizarre view of the world.
By far the easiest way to get off Facebook is to watch this movie.
My conservative friends that have been told FB is quietly warping things to the left and say they don’t really care as they avoid politics on FB tend to be RINOs. The same with the schools teaching sex ed to 6 year olds and the RINOs who say, ‘hey, I don’t care because we have the choice of opting our kid out of the classes, only to find out the following year that that option is no longer available. Then the bleat is, ‘hey what can ya do?’
This is the front line of a war on our values. It is sneaky how FB and Google are doing it. So sneaky that most RINO’s see no big deal here. It is more important to share snapshots of their lives than to worry about how millions are being manipulated into thinking the world is more to the left than it is...
I feel so left out.........../s
Facebook will give a leftist administration anything they want, quietly, to help stem rebellion by lovers of America. A conservative administration trying to preserve and protect the Constitution, not so much.
If you wish to make comments on the website of our local Gannett newsrag you have to use Facebook. Needless to say, since that was instituted a few years ago, discussions on topics that used to get hundreds of responses now get a few dozen at most and others get very few. And they are skewed farther left than before, too, since more conservatives reject Facebook than liberals do.
Old Zuck’s smart enough to know have the people in the United States are conservative...
He’s not stupid.
“Many conservatives have feigned outrage over this revelation, crying as though they have some infringed-upon right to something they dont equal access to someone elses property.”
Being lied to is reason to be outraged.
It sure is.
Excellent point.
The better alternative to “regulating Facebook” is to come up with a Right alternative, and let Facebook lose half its users.
After this election cycle, ClownHall.com is must don’t-read material.
