Most notable in leaked paper is how Facebook editors decide the importance level of stories. They rely on a list of ten sources that skew decidedly to the left, especially the BBC and the Guardian. Other left-leaning media outlets on the list include the New York Times and NBC News (which oversees unabashedly liberal outlet MSNBC). Fox News is the list’s outlier.

No DrudgeReport?

If it’s on Drudge, it WILL be trending.

The head of the editorial department at Facebook is a Hillary donor. I heard a commentator on CNN saying this must be all accidental, no way a news source like Facebook or Google would bias the news. And while talking he even kept a straight face.

I’m trying to imagine the mentality of someone who gets their news off of FB.

These days, the anomaly is anyone under thirty who is aware of news at all. The cream of that crop got theirs from the Daily Show. The downfall of America continues apace.

“They should rely on FreeRepublic!”

Unfortunately freerepublic is becoming more and more anti free speech. For example this great video was zotted with no reason given.

The media loves to interview itself, or a confirmed list of people who think just like them. They’re a closed loop.

They just use the rank-and-file to amaze prospective advertisers with their number of viewer/listenership, or circulation.

The clintons and the obamas have cost them their most valuable asset...CREDIBILITY.

The same third of the population that gets their news from late night talk shows.
