Like a stopped watch, he’s right once in while. The great New Yorker writer, A.J.Liebling, quoted Governor Earl Long as saying, “Publishers are like the owners of shoe stores who stock only shoes in their own size and expect everyone else to buy them” (or something to that effect). NR and TWS do not care about the liberal point of view, so why should Facebook care what persons who would shut down other persons’ rights think? Zuckerberg— grow a pair! Let Ingraham and Coulter start their own damned Facebook.

Tucker Carlson is rapidly moving into Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity level of TOTAL A-HOLEDOM. He’s very close. Obviously that is what he aspires to. What a little POS he is.

Conservative idiot realizes conservatives tend to be idiots. Don’t worry, he’ll forget any lesson he learned from that passing moment of clarity within minutes… So, Glenn, Benghazi isn’t a similar witch hunt?

“When did conservatives start demanding quotas AND diversity training AND less people from Ivy League Colleges?”

I dunno…the exact date you started worshipping ignorance is kinda hard to pin down.

Hey conservative blogs! If you are not listed in the “news” it is because you are not paying enough.It’s not becuase you are conservative. It’s part of their business model, you know, how they make money?

Sounds like Zuckerberg is about to learn the Obama Lesson: Trying to “engage” the RWNJ’s as if they were reasonable adults is pointless.

FB should have issued a statement saying that it doesn’t apply any ideological litmus test to its “trending news” section, and then said nothing more. If the wingnuts want to start their own social media site, let 'em.

Doesn’t Facebook post news that is favored by the community? Most of those on FaceBook are not Conservatives, why would they care about so called “Conservative News (I.e. propaganda)”?

In Beck’s defense,our local yokel talk radio host defended Facebook too on the basis of it being a private sector business.

That’s been conseratives’ job since…since the salem witch trials! Accuse people of bogus BS based on their religious beliefs and try to kill them over it. Hey when they find something they stick with it!

If cognitive dissonance was lethal, conservative corpses would be stacked like cordwood in morgues from Puyallup to Portland.

“I sat there, looking around the room at ‘our side’ wondering, ‘Who are we?’ Who am I?” Beck wrote.

You are Ross Perot’s VP running mate.

(Only for those of us of a certain age and still-functioning memories.)

Judging by the typical people who repost the Facebook news trends, they’re mostly conservative commentator wannabes

Ok, now waiting for a similar meeting at Fox News concerning the suppression of liberal-oriented news.
