House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted Facebook as a "shameful" company on Thursday, further escalating tensions between Democratic leadership and the social media giant.
In response to a question about the power held by Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday, Pelosi accused the company of being "accomplices for misleading the American people with money from god-knows where." She also suggested that the company cares about profits above all else. "All they want are their tax cuts and no antitrust action against them," she said, adding that she believes Facebook "schmoozed" the Trump administration. The comments came at Pelosi's weekly press conference on Capitol Hill.

Nanc: If they mislead anyone, it is the idiot lefties / Democrats. We conservatives do not allow our vote or thoughts to be influenced by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. This really does not say much about the intelligence of your voters; or your trust in there ability to discern lies from truth.
OK - back to the sham impeachment you go!

Pelosi said,
They don't care about the impact on children, they don't care about truth.
and
accomplices for misleading the American people with money from God knows where.
Did she not realize that she was also talking about herself and her demented comrades in Congress?

Years ago there was another social media platform.
I mean platform literally.
They were called soap boxes which politicians would stand on so everyone gathered could see them when they spoke to a crowd.
So was the company that made soapboxes responsible for any misleading statements made by those who stood upon them?
Of course not and neither is Facebook and in both cases government has no business regulating any platforms provided to those who want to use them to exercise their free-speech rights

Well, she is right...
Even if in Reality, it is the opposite of the bias she is accusing them of.
I do love it, though, when Lefties say bad things about some of their best allies.

Either this is really funny, considering how left leaning FB is; or it’s some kind of Dem ploy.

So since fakebook and Pelosi have so much in common, is she trying for CEO?

Nanc: How EXACTLY did they mislead the American people? You must have no confidence in them. Well, we know Democrats can easily be lead astray, so there is that. The rest of us? We do not left social media tell us how to vote.
