Mainstream Media Continues To March Its Way To Self Destruction 3

I do not know anything about FCC rules governing media behavior but at least one of the outlets, CNN, needs to be investigated for violating the public trust because it is filled with left wing political operatives claiming to be journalists and has been actively involved in the process of trying to defeat a presidential candidate, and more. Quote: "Former FBI Director James Comey’s controversial memo contained a bombshell the mainstream media has completely ignored — but The Horn News found it. And it’s huge. According to Comey, the media and “CNN in particular” were demanding a “news hook” on the Steele dossier before President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2017 — the debunked document funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign that was used by Barack Obama’s administration in 2016 to justify a wiretap of Trump Tower."  And,  "In multiple memos, Comey specifically mentioned that CNN had the dossier and wanted a ‘news hook’ that would enable the network to report on its most salacious allegations even though they had not been verified,” The Federalist reported. In other words, Comey’s FBI used a debunked and controversial document to secure a wiretap of Trump’s presidential campaign."     https://thehornnews.com/report-cnn-helped-with-anti-trump-dossier/ 

Items regarding social media.

The left wing leadership of social media giants are proving to be far less than honest or ethical and display obvious political left wing biases in guidance given to their employees.  Quote: "Mark Zuckerberg may have to make room for Google’s C.E.O Sundar Pichai to answer some questions before Congress about his own sabotaging of conservatives. Some conservatives are reacting by pulling out of social media giants like Facebook, Google, and Twitter and starting their own alternatives while others, like Ben Shapiro, say that isn’t the answer to a bigger problem. The latest information about Google’s activities comes with the release of information as part of James Damore’s labor complaint against Google. Damore made the news when he was fire(d) for circulating an internal memo that criticized the company’s diversity program. Doyle Alexander of en-volve.com reported on Google’s practices saying: “Yesterday, we reported that Google cautions many of its managers against rewarding behavior that caters the values of white-male dominant culture, including meritocracy, individual achievement and avoiding conflict.” The bias against conservatives is not confined to the boardrooms and break rooms of Silicon Valley but rather is a systemic prevailing progressive culture that dictates how everyone working there thinks and acts."   These people are a danger to the rightful functioning of civil society by deciding what is acceptable for their users to see, read, know and consider. They fully believe that only what they think do and say is the only thing people need to pay attention to. They are, simply stated, hugely unethical purveyors of censorship and deserve to lose all everyone who has signed up to receive their propaganda.  

More about the total lack of ethics of the Facebook censorship operations.  Liberal Democrat political sites can say anything they like but not Republican sites. Facebook censoring staffers remove content that liberal minds do not like. That is what liberals call fair, open and responsible business practices.   https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/04/24/facebook-censors-republican-congressional-candidates-page/

Anyone who pays even a limited amount of attention to social media giants and their clear bias for liberal causes should realize that Facebook CEO Zuckerman is a far left liberal leading a far left liberal organization.  Far too much evidence exists on the public record for him or anyone at Facebook to deny that is the case.  This interchange during Zuckerman's appearance before Congress offers stark factual and visual evidence that he knew he had been correctly and rightfully called out for the fraud he is.  No amount of shucking a jiving will change the facts.    https://conservativetribune.com/watch-panic-on-zucks-face-obama/?

This should tell all who are honest with themselves how utterly unethical and totally disgusting Facebook is.  They support this unbelievable nonsense and censor conservations for what does not approach the hate they allow this left wing site to provide.  I would never, ever join Facebook. I did not trust it when it came out and am now glad I didn't.  It is a disreputable organization filled with people and policies that are anti-American.  The whole operation should be shut down and Zuckerman's reputation put in the toilet where it belongs.   http://americanactionnews.com/articles/wut-facebook-claims-kill-trump-hang-him-hunt-him-page-doesn-t-violate-their-community-standards   I would not trust Facebook or Zuckerman with anything or anyone important to me.  He is a weasel.

This piece provides a review of a study by MIT that proves the reality of Fake News on social media.  The message: be very careful what you believe.  Quote: "Don't believe everything you read, especially on social media.  According the biggest study to date into fake news, the truth takes six times longer to be seen by 1,500 people on Twitter than misinformation.  Researchers found lies were 70% more likely to be retweeted than the truth — even when they controlled for factors like whether the account was verified or not, the number of followers, and how old the account was.  The study was conducted by researchers at MIT, and published on Thursday in the journal Science. It specifically examined how rapidly fake news spreads on Twitter, and classified news as true or false by using information from six fact-checking organisations. Researchers looked at 126,000 stories on Twitter, tweeted by around 3.5 million users more than 4.5 million times between 2006 and 2017."    http://www.businessinsider.com/mit-study-fake-news-spreads-6-times-faster-on-twitter-than-truth-2018-3
