Facebook blows chunks as it is. It’s systematically choking out conservative viewpoints. Its bias against conservatives is evident to everyone paying attention. It blows my mind that Zuckerberg dares to say that Facebook remains a platform for all ideas. What a load.
Remember when Sen. Ted Cruz asked him about that?
“Does Facebook consider itself to be a neutral public forum?” Cruz asked.
“We consider ourselves to be a platform for all ideas,” Zuckerberg said.

Not a sufficient answer. Try again.
Could Facebook get any worse? Yes. Yes it could. Especially if Hillary Clinton had her way.
She recently spoke to an audience at Harvard University and was asked what company she’d like to be CEO of. Facebook was the clear choice, because it’s the “biggest news platform in the world.”
Hillary Clinton wants to be in charge of the biggest news platform in the world. Who’s surprised by that? And liberals say Trump is creepy and totalitarian like. Please.
“We can listen to really brilliant, experienced writers like David Ignatius and try to keep up with the news,” Hillary said. “But most people in our country get their news, true or not, from Facebook.”
“Facebook is trying to take on some of the unexpected consequences of their business model, and I for one hope they get it right because it really is critical to our democracy that people get accurate information on which to make decisions,” she added.
Translation: She wants Facebook to continue to choke out as many conservative voices as possible.
Guess she’s NOT all about the free exchange of ideas after all.
