Those “trusted sources” aren’t based on what you trust, but what they trust.

Exactly.

They claim the pages will be based on “diverse and representative” criteria

To the left this means a white liberal, a black liberal, an Hispanic liberal, an Asian liberal, a male liberal, a female liberal, a gay liberal, a lesbian liberal, a transvestite liberal, and maybe a conservative.

If they don’t release the memo, I’m making my profile picture just a text reading #RELEASE THE MEMO.

Curious to see how long that lasts.

If you are reading the news provided by Facebook you need your head examined. I do not read or follow businesses or topics on it. I have very good “ignore” abilities.

Not that I am suggesting it but with a little tweaking FR could become the conservative version of FB.

or CNN. I spend most of my time at airport gates being p*ssed off.

I don't go to airports, so I'm safe. I only watch CNN on youtube clips so I can laugh at them when they F up. On second thought, I do watch them a lot.

And they are rejecting conservative news stories, marking them as spam.

I do Facebook, and my daily newsfeed is full of articles from conservative newa sites like Daily Caller, MRCtv, Newsbusters, Campus Reform, WND, Conservative Book Club, Judicial Watch and others.

In fact, some of the articles I post on FR are ones that I first see on my Facebook newsfeed.

Stop using FakeBook....would be my answer.

I've never used it...and don't ever intend to.

A long time ago I let it be known I don’t and won’t do facebook, one of my better decisions.

**Never return to facebook.com.**

Why even go there in the first place?

I have never subscribed and think doing that is wise!
