So now Social Media is now being blamed for Hillary's loss. How about blaming Hillary?

Anyhow, Facebook better look at history if they wish to remain relevant.

Digg and Reedit tried CENSORING a while back. It killed Digg's traffic, and Reedit stopped censoring.

Today Reedit leans right and huge anti-establishment web site. Digg is now the new My Space.

I'll admit Conservatives have been jacking into Social Media, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc...) and just simply over whelming it our message.

Trump has been able to bypass the so called MSM and just eat their censor lunch.

And by “fake”, Zuckerberg likely means “conservative”.

They've got to be kidding.

Facebook and Twitter and youtube was used by the Deplorables to undercut Hillary at every turn.

One of the reasons the MSM was so wrongon the election outcome is that Social Media had circumvented them. The real story was told and spread via viral videos and memes and web stories.

Sounds like a bad business decision, if real.

Translation: FB will delete new stories that don’t toe the liberal line.

There were fake trump posts to like the people magazine article that said the voters are dumb and if I run I would win since they are stupid. From 1998 and found to be false.

I only do FB and I got tons of conservative election news. It helps having all Christian conservatives as friends including some news groups. I got updates from Trump headquarters. It brought out 2/3 liberals I had no clue they were that odd. When they spewed their liberal nonsense, I hid the posts and read the others and went on about my business. No big deal. They have the right to be wrong.

I doubt they mean it. They just want to define/censor what users are allowed to see.

If they do mean it, I hope CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc will follow their lead.

Exactly.
WE are the journalists now.

It has to be this way. The formal media has made itself irrelevant.

There is no other choice but for citizen journalists to step into the breach.
