Facebook to Gather Questions for Moderators of Presidential Debate
Breitbart ^ | September 15, 2016 | Ben Kew

Facebook will be responsible for gathering questions for one of the first presidential debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the Commission on Presidential Debates has revealed. “Facebook will be providing data to the moderators in the weeks leading up to the debates on what people are searching and saying about the election, the candidates, and the issues,” the commission announced.

Don’t worry, it’s all determined by purely scientific algorithms, and Facebook is an accurate representation of our nation.

Stroking Zuckerberg’s ego letting him play this role in our election.

Facebook has locked my page since yesterday. I have tried 3 different computers and an android and none will even let me go to someone Else’s facebook page.

I use it for nothing except family photos so nothing remotely controversial.

Really irritating.

Fox Network ‘partnered’ with that left wing org. before and don’t be surprised that it will be used more prominently when Wallace is the inquisitor.

My question: Do you think physical abuse against a spouse or partner should disqualify a person from elected office? Say a person that threw an ashtray at their husband’s head?

Didn’t that little rat boy Zucker just give Clinton a bunch of dough. That should be conflict of interest right there.

I think facebook runs a litmus test on its users, then handles them based on the result.

My account is 5 years old. I have 0 friends, and only 2 pictures posted, neither of which are actually me. False name, false date of birth, false other information.

I use the account to research potential hires for my company, and to research people I date.

The *ONLY* topic / item / person I’ve “liked” has been Donald Trump’s page.

Instantly I have had more trouble searching for people. My results are much thinner than they used to be, and my pages load slowly.

I’m 100% convinced FB is trying to discourage participation by Trump supporters at least, and to purge them from its ranks at worst.

I wonder about that too. I use facebook only for posting family photos and get several “likes” a day. My facebook posting is about as non controversial as it could be.

On the other hand maybe they do know what I post otherwise.

And in the end, the moderators will be presented with a list of about 1000 ‘questions for the candidate’. They will take the ones that they personally wanted to ask anyway, phrase the question in some biased manner, and then pretend that the question is the ‘will of the people’ or some other such BS. It’s all just a big joke of a PR stunt.
