FACEBOOK DELIVERS FOR DEMOCRATS: Erased 2 Billion GOP Page Views in Purge, Eliminated Conservative
Gateway Pundit ^ | 11-9-2018 | Jim Holt

What big tech has done to conservative and other undesirable publishers is nothing short of a digital Kristallnacht.” — Andrew Marchs, filmmaker

On Tuesday night, after the votes were counted, Democrats took control of the US House of Representatives.

wealthy suburban voters and women are being credited for the win.

At least 35 Republican lawmakers lost their seats on Tuesday night.

Democrats have a huge advantage over Republicans with their partners in the media complex, Hollywood, and academia.

And, unlike 2016, this year Democrats can also can give a huge amount of credit to Tech giants Google, Facebook and Twitter.

Suburban voters and women no longer were reading conservative articles on Facebook. Facebook eliminated at least 1.5 billion links to conservative articles since 2017. If you add additional websites like The Gateway Pundit, Infowars, Young Cons, Right Wing News, etc. the number tops 2 billion easy. And it likely made a difference on Tuesday night. 80% of women age 18-49 have Facebook accounts. These are the women who get their news from Facebook. Facebook knows this and eliminated conservative content on their platform so their would be no repeat of 2016.

Fitting...

Tonight is the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht

Except for a couple of local candidates, I did not get ONE conservative ad in my feed for 2-3 weeks. Daily I was doused with commie crap.

BTW the FL DMV computer was hacked as well!
Unable to get vehicle Titles!

Would this indicate hack problem with election as well?

Who can we notify about DMV FL computer hack?

Anybody who relies on FB for their news has to check it for accuracy 99.9% of the time.

I prefer getting my news from here.

Don’t use Facebook; never did, never will. If more people dropped their Facebook account, they would neuter Zuckerberg’s insane influence in our country’s affairs.

Break them up NOW!

Is FR still a conservative site? You want the government - i.e., President Trump - to do something about this? How about you and I create something so compelling that a billion people use it daily? Let’s get busy. Those sites don’t create themselves.

Because it’s good for business. Except when it isn’t.

It’s essentially a public utility. Why are conservatives on city water, or using the phone lines, or using any public utility? Because it’s something we use for business, for our homes.

Sadly, there is no equivalent to it yet.

I don’t even SEE the ads on Facebook...I mean...I ignore them, and literally don’t see them. BUT, for the naive I guess they could be effective. In my county, conservatives do a lot of work (in private FB pages).

Those sites didn't create themselves, but they were backed by people with deep pockets who I'm sure would only back a Leftist-run operation. Conservatives with deep pockets need to get in the game and start funding tech start-ups. Too many conservatives are clueless about technology - there was a time that the Right had an advantage over the Left on the internet, but that advantage has been wiped out by a determined effort by the Left.

I realize that.

I’ve had many friends post “news” and when I’ve researched, found it was fake news and pointed it out.

I just don’t trust FB and some of my friends are pretty ignorant and fall for the fakery.

Thanks for that. I’ve never been on Facebook so I don’t have the perspective you do.

Do you foresee a conservative equivalent coming along?

It was a large, industry-wide conspiracy two years in the making, starting with Silicon Valley biggie Dave McClure's public rant at a giant international tech conference in Spain the day after the 2016 election.

It's chilling to watch, in retrospect.

We can see that the conspiracy worked, after Tuesday. And the open sedition is ongoing...

McClure: "We [Silicon Valley] provide communications platforms for the rest of the country, and we are allowing s**t to happen..."

"...It's our duty and our responsibility as entrepreneurs, as citizens of the f**king world, to make sure that s**t does not happen [people like Trump taking office]..."

A lot of people dont have the time to sit around reading FR for hours. And no they dont read FB for hours. Peopke work, have kids, responsibilities, and for the mushy middle, they’ve probably never heard of FR. I agree that FB and Twitter are now more like public utilities than like a private corporation. But they want it both ways.

Of course the tech didn't create itself. I don't think you need as much funding as all that. It does take effort. Wanting others with deep pockets to fund it is a pipe dream. So we don't know tech. We learn it. Period. It's all available for us to learn right now. Does money help? Of course it does because it buys attention. But you don't need someone else to do it for you when you're fully capable of learning the tech necessary to get it going. In fact, there are probably clone scripts you can buy for under a grand. Modify it. You're in business. Same with any of these social media sites.

Waiting for someone else to create a bigger and better mousetrap is a recipe for something not getting done.
