Warren targets Facebook with ad claiming Zuckerberg supports Trump
The Hill ^ | 10/12/19 | Rachel Frazin

Posted on 10/12/2019 9:35:07 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Sen. Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign is targeting Facebook's policies for political advertisements with a new ad that purposefully makes the false claim that the company and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, have endorsed President Trump.

Warren and other critics have blasted Facebook in recent days over its refusal to take down a Trump campaign ad that accuses Democratic candidate Joe Biden of corruption without evidence. Facebook has defended allowing the ad to stay on its platform.

"Breaking news: Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook just endorsed Donald Trump for re-election," the mock Warren ad states. "You're probably shocked, and you might be thinking, 'how could this possibly be true?' Well, it's not. (Sorry.)"

"But what Zuckerberg *has* done is given Donald Trump free rein to lie on his platform -- and then to pay Facebook gobs of money to push out their lies to American voters," the ad continues.

"If Trump tries to lie in a TV ad, most networks will refuse to air it. But Facebook just cashes Trump's checks," the ad states. "Facebook already helped elect Donald Trump once. Now, they're deliberately allowing a candidate to intentionally lie to the American people. It's time to hold Mark Zuckerberg accountable."

Zuck is not nearly as liberal and Trump hating as twitter and google folks.

He’s left, I’m sure, but he’s at least MADE comments about how people need to have an open mind when deciding who to vote for.

That alone could get you in trouble in silicon valley.

the Dems better watch out for what they wish for: if the media starts acting as arbiters of ad truthfulness, the Dems will never have any of their ads published ...

After the Russian ads came to light, the Washington Post did an interview with Zuckerberg.

He laughed off the idea the ads influenced the election. I believe he even used the word 'crazy'.

He was crucified after that and he backpedaled.

Wait. You just admitted that the first sentence of your post is a lie. Speak with forked tongue much?
