DailyMail.com has reached out to Facebook and Burns seeking comment.
Burns also lashed out at Sandberg, the 'Lean In' author and Facebook COO who, along with her boss, has come under fire in recent years over data leaks and the platform's role in helping Donald Trump win election.
A BuzzFeed News report from November 2016 revealed that fake news stories outperformed actual news on Facebook - particularly in the weeks and months leading up to the election.
In 2018, Facebook was once again in the news - this time after it was learned that Cambridge Analytica, the now-defunct political consulting firm, mined the data of tens of millions of Facebook users.
In April, Facebook stopped users from sharing articles by DailyMail.com about a BLM founder Patrisse Cullors' multi-million dollar property empire while users were allowed to share it from other outlets.
Readers of the New York Post on Facebook were also blocked from sharing a story about Cullors' multi-million-dollar property holdings.
The Facebook spokesperson claimed that the article 'shared multiple details which could identify the residence of one of the BLM founders, in violation of her privacy rights.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
