Mark Zuckerberg invited prominent conservative media figures, including Glenn Beck and Dana Perino, to a meeting at Facebook's headquarters this week. The meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, is aimed at addressing the alleged suppression of conservative news stories in Facebook's "trending" stories section. Along with Perino and Beck, other confirmed attendees include Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute, CNN conservative commentator SE Cupp, and Zac Moffatt, co-founder of tech firm Targeted Victory. Moffatt was previously Mitt Romney's digital director.

I agree. I just find it interesting that Zuckerberg is meeting ‘conservatives’ who happen to all be NeverTrumpers when it would benefit Hillary. Otherwise, he never have them the time of day.
Glenn Beck, Dana Perino, SE Cupp, and Zac Moffatt. Not a conservative in the bunch.
It doesn’t list any conservatives going, just a bunch of media liberals and a whack job radio host..
I agree. He is a raving nutter..
Trump is pretty good about making lemonade out of lemons. Let’s hang cool and see how Trump reacts if Facebook becomes more than a tempest in a teapot. One tweet and he could paint them the clowns pretty deftly.
One characteristic of free countries is that what is right wins by merit far more than by force.
Glenn is a quasi-conservative, like his fave Ted Cruz.
Zuckerberg is one guy I’d love to have 5 minutes alone with. Ya know, just to talk a little sense into him.
How about Milo and Gavin McInness..?
Or Ben Shapiro..?
Or Drudge..?
He wouldn’t dare.
Glenn Beck, good God.
Censor them? Like a strongman? What happens when the strongman takes a dislike to you?
Sounds like grounds for a RICO action
Glib talk goes around like that, then they wonder why they get Wacos.
Basically they were “rigging the vote”, “cooking the books”, “adjusting the numbers”, etc. All with no transparency and all pure propaganda and lies; all for a profit.
No, it takes more courage and more grounding in God to “CENSURE” those who are wrong.
That, my FRiend, is to win by merit, not by force.
Oh goody. Now Zuckerberg is telling us who is conservative
Shapiro went to ‘the dark side’, I’m afraid.
It's called propaganda .
You can't censor lies and misinformation.
It's lies and spin meant to misinform to manipulate people .
The Nazis were experts at it.
Facebook has been caught doing just that .
It's abuse of power of the highest order just like what Ryan and McCarthy were doing with Facebook ownership.
It's pure treason.
In the end they take the 5th and say that it’s an entertainment based media.
And frankly, liberal articles do tend to stir up the discussion pot more on a non self selected website (Facebook readership is not a mirror of FR), therefore more page views therefore more page-eyes to sell to advertisers.
Take it for what it’s worth, don’t sweat the small stuff, and try rather to educate people, both on and off Facebook, that there is a bigger world than Facebook. Try to believe in the merit of truth again and advocate for truth like you really believed it.
Does that even exist anymore? Certainly not being enforced.
Yes, yes you are right.
I forgot that.
Toooooo bad.... :(
