Faceberg is committed to being a politically neutral platform for all ideas.

This whole charade was nothing but ANOTHER dog and pony show.


Congress is pathetic and we're even more pathetic for tolerating this bullshite.

It reminded me of the CNN Town Hall. Political posturing and political human sacrifice. The whole thing is rather ridiculous.

Facebook is committed to spoon feeding the info of whoever is paying to the people they determine are like minded.

Facebook may have blocked many of you from user To user contact. Especially if you hurt some feelings. But if you are trying to tell me your page doesn't get hit with "story" after story that is pro Trump or whatever truly right wing cause you can imagine you are lying. It comes from the left too.

If you are trying to tell us Facebook isn't extremely biased toward the left you are full of shite.


They let obama use ALL of their data in 2012, no problem, NOW there is a crisis.

I don't see a FB bias. I seem to have more annoying conservative FB friends than I do liberal ones.

Exactly. It’s extremely responsive and adaptive. Whoever is on your feed and whatever they link or like or talk about, it will hammer you with THOSE stories and ads. It’s job is to get eyes and clicks and ads. It’s not to piss people off so much that they leave.

Have one dude I graduated high school with. He lives in Hawaii and Washington State now. He is a physician. Wife is a vegan and grows her own food. I also have an NP that I know and have worked with who owns a pussy hat. When they stray into my feed their left leaning content does.

Is Mark Zuckerburg and the board of Facebook liberal? You bet your arse he is. He’s just not dumb enough to let his politics get in the way of his wallet. Not too much. He will pimp that site out to any message and messenger.
