The percentage of conversation about Sen. Ted Cruz that was positive on Facebook fell after the Texas Republican criticized net neutrality, calling it Obamacare for the Internet.
Positive interactions related to Cruz on Facebook dropped from 52 percent over the period of Oct. 29 to Nov. 4 to 34 percent from Nov. 5 to Nov. 11, following the firebrand Texas senators reaction to Obamas embrace of net neutrality, according to data supplied by Facebook.
The percentage of negative interactions for the first week examined was 44 percent, with 4 percent of the interactions being neutral. For the later time period, the percentage of negative interactions was 61 percent, with 5 percent of the interactions being neutral.
Facebook which supplied the data about the interactions to ABC News as part of a partnership defines interactions as posts, comments, likes and shares on the social network....

And the Old Media Propaganda War Begins. This is the same way they convinced dumb people to support Obamacare, even though we warned them over and over for five years. Now we’re saying “I told you so”.
Will we have to say “I told you so” a few years from now after Net Neutrality has strangled and destroyed the Internet and turned it into a government propaganda tool?
You fell for this phony PR planted story !
You actually believe a phony story meant to shut up the fighters !
The GOP should worry more about trade deals and stuff like this, then avoiding abortion.
Paul LePage won because in part he was a social conservative.
Translation: He has a set of stones that most Republicans never dreamed of having.
Hey Zuckerberg, how about a report of the positive vs negative comments about a whole slew of important things?
How’s Gruber and Obamacare doing?
ABC and Facebook have as much credibility in Texas as our big city papers...which is ZERO.
ABC was the first Obama front group to support this take over !
The push out some phony spin. How does Disney shut up its rivals and make money !
Probably because a lot of people want something for nothing.
Name ONE thing positive about the government making the net “neutral”.
“But I think this, specifically, is a poisonous issue for Ted Cruz! He should just lay off.”
Net neutrality is a government takeover of the Internet. Cruz is right. They use a name like “Net Neutrality” because “Government Internet Takeover” doesn’t sell as well.
I see the rough equivalent of a non-scientific poll here.
Looks like a few FReeper Gruberites want him to shut up about it.
Please this story is pure Crap!
Zuckerberg and ABC are the Obama administration!
Somehow Facebook just gave this phony info to ABC !
Its called Propaganda to shut up Cruz!
I smell trolls too !
They jump on the Shut up Cruz bandwagon over deep concern!
ABC and Facebook , the Obama guards !
Bingo. How do they know what the conversation is like? Taking Zuckerberg’s lackey’s word for it?
I Stand With Ted Cruz! Keep the Government Out of the Internet. All they want is Control and this is one of the few FREEDOM areas Left!
Its a major issue and I’m glad he’s speaking about it.
Liberals are crawling all over twitter calling for it as a means of bringing the internet to all (and shutting up conservatives).
These days you base a news story on Facebook comments?
**********
No other news to report perhaps?
Please read on newsbusters the ABC PR garbage off in support if Dear Leader !
Followed up with this Pathetic ABC hit piece yo scare Cruz.
ABC is the enemy of this country
