Against the backlash from Facebook being exposed for controlling content based on ideological views, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced he was going to meet with “conservative voices” to discuss their concerns.
Glenn Beck subsequently announced his participation in this upcoming meeting. –SEE HERE –
It’s all smoke and mirrors folks. This PR ruse is about the most insufferable damage control amid years of behind-the-scenes political consultation is, well, silly.
The control of Facebook and other social media platforms to push political narratives is well documented, and extends far beyond non-traditional social media. Matt Drudge was talking about it last year (see here). And we’ve been following it since 2010.
Consider this picture:
Yes, that’s the leadership within the House of representatives in the spring of 2014 (Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy) meeting with Facebook’s CEO, Zuckerberg, and COO Sheryl Sandberg, to outline how Facebook could help the House of Representative pass comprehensive immigration reform by removing oppositional viewpoint from the social media feeds.
As a direct consequence of that pictured meeting, in June of 2014, The House of Reps successfully scheduled a vote on the Senate Gang-of-Eight immigration bill to include Amnesty (pc colloquialism: “pathway to citizenship”). Unfortunately, their whipped vote count collapsed merely two days before the vote because Dave Brat primaried Eric Cantor.
Anyone who follows the deep weeds on this nonsense knows this media manipulation has been going on for years. Even Rush Limbaugh was reluctantly forced to admit it after an expose’ on his own voice being solicited for the collective endeavor...

Anybody that thinks something productive will come from this is mistaken. Zuckerberg is as liberal as they come.
how about Rush, Drudge, Milo and Ann Coulter?
It absolutely looks like a meeting to coordinate how they are going to attack Trump, not talk about censorship.
none of those people were censored by Facebook.
all of those people are fake conservatives
Would be kinda like the Death Star meeting John McClane, when you think about it.
Better list.
Why, it’s a Fakebook dog-and-RINO show.
Suckerberg is an incompent crony lefty ... Just sayin... His #1 investor is the Feds ...
Ponzi scheme in action
FB is meeting with tame conservative establishment types.
how about Rush, Drudge, Milo and Ann Coulter?>>> rush and drudge won’t dare but milo and ann would be a treat.
Facebook is a drag because it uses people and robs them of their precious time. I’m a user of FB because I use it to promote the all-volunteer non-profit organization I belong to.
Glenn Beck subsequently announced his participation in this upcoming meeting.
Spellcheck got INSANE wrong...
HMMMmmm...
FreeRepublic is a drug because it captivates people and reminds them of their precious Country.
| I was contacted by my psychiatrist's office this morning
about going on the air today.
I have had the same problem that many in media and Salt Lake Valley face: suppression of MORMON voices and ideas.

If FR was a drug, too many FReepers wouldn’t be able to afford using it.
Idiots to think any change will come of this. Will Beck try crying?
Yippee ki yay.....
Like Chamberlain and Daladier negotiating on behalf of Czechoslovakia at Munich.
