This is of great concern to Trey Gowdy. And will be for years and years to come.
does âtrendingâ imply âinterestingâ or âimportantâ?
and what the hell is wrong with people that news has to be âcuratedâ for them? do they get a spoonful of sugar to make it go down better if itâs bitter?
I didnât know that there was âliberal newsâ and âconservative news.â I thought that news, like facts, was bipartisan and was simply ânews.â
Conservatives whine and bitch almost as much as Bernieâs ardent admirers do.
A former Facebook employeeâŚ
Got it. Say no more. Release the houndsâŚ
I know nothing about Facebook, but if its true what this âformerâ employee saysâŚis there a award we can offer Facebook for their online business model in this regard?
Most of my experiences with people that depend on Facebook for anything is they need someone to cut their steak for them at the dinner table also.
Can someone tell me why the hell anyone cares what a person is eating for lunch, including pictures from 5 angles and a photo of the menu? WTF? And the people theyâre with? And whatâs going on in those peopleâs lives? STFU, youâre not that interesting.
The human race needs to skip procreation for a couple generations. Throw the planet a bone.
Facebook is a private company that operates a social networking service, they have absolutely no obligation to republish your propaganda disguised as ânewsâ. If people want to read the latest conspiracy theories about Lois Lerner, they are free to visit Drudge or TheBlaze or Breitbart or any number of sites that exclusively publish conservative ânewsâ.
How is this any different than what Fox News does? Theyâre both private organizations. Should everybody be outraged because Fox censors âliberal newsâ?
What, will conservative have to find some new way of ginning up support for their pet paranoids? The NYT Best Seller List among various other MSM ârankingâ system have simply been tools for conservatives to promote their own brand⌠do you need to sell 50,000 copies of a book to get #1 on the NYT list? Fine, just buy 50,000 copies at the institutional price, write off the loss, and every conservative think tank now has the cheapest advertising campaign they can buy. Need the FCC to ban a liberal outlet or show that a conservative doesnât like? Easy, just send out a specific hit form to every one of your supporters and have them resubmit the complaint over and over again until the material you donât like is taken off the air.
Same bullshit, different day. Work the refs when your own foul plays donât work.
RECYCLED HEADLINE: CONSERVATIVES LOVE CAPITALISM AND FREE ENTERPRISE UP UNTIL IT WORKS AGAINST THEM - SEE ALSO CONSTITUTION, DEMOCRACY
Breaking: News site has an editor!
Not-so-breaking: Conservative whines about not getting attention.
Yawn. Everything and everyone has a bias and trending is going to be implicitly biased by the editor, audience, or algorithm that determines what is trending.
I think anybody whoâs ever logged into Facebook knows that this is utter bullshit.
Isnât âconservative newsâ a contradiction in terms?
Anyone who thinks there is no conservative crap on facebook has no uncles or brothers-in-law.
Itâs one of the many reasons I donât use it.
Ah yes, but FOX doesnât pretend to be either fair, balanced, or ethical⌠then again, neither does Facebook I suppose. Besides, conservatives have already spent a lot of money utterly failing to establish a defined âconservativeâ flavor of Facebook.
If they donât like Facebook, they can always go back to MyspaceâŚ(one of Rubert Murdochâs failed buyouts and venture).

This is kind of a funny thing to allege. Iâm not sure how âthey didnât post the bullshit histrionic stories that the Conservative freaks likedâ is somehow a sign of a bad job by news curators.
If folks want to reach bullshit histrionic stories they can just log onto Fox News, or any of the other crazy outlets they have nowadays where they churn conspiracy theories on a daily basis faster than the National Enquirer can churn out Bigfoot and Chupacabra wedding stories.
And both of them went home, turned on their televisions and gorged themselves on right wing propaganda on an actual MSM network that purports to be ânewsâ, i.e., Faux News.
Facebook can do whatever it fucking wants. If it wants to clear itself of any and all conservative news sources, itâs perfectly welcome to. Itâs welcome to the the opposite as well. It doesnât pretend to be a news source or âjournalism.â If youâre going to FB for your news in the first place, then youâre a fucking imbecile.
âFB didnât help us promote our debunked propaganda.â Cry me the fucking Nile, biotch.
