I need to go pack my bag for an extended stay in the
Facebook jail. But today as I was wasting
life span on reading peoples’ posts (not mine….mine are valuable, archival
material), something caught my eye on the right side of the screen. I have included a snap shot of what Facebook
considered the “trending news” for today.
Take a look.
The clip shows what Facebook staff, who are paid to
determine what YOU see as “trending news”.
That is right…..I cannot recall the job title of the FB employees that
do this, but there is a staff that choses what YOU see as trending, in an
effort to influence what YOU think.
Do you notice anything about the 10 items listed as “trending”? Sure you do. Three of them are from MSN(BC). One is from CNN, and one from the BBC. All of those sources are FAR left, I mean FRINGE
left (which is THE left) and anti-Trump.
Then you have the one by NPR. I
think NPR must miss the day when it was a relative outlet, could call itself “talk
radio”, before it became a tax payer funded tool of the left (and on this….you
will hear some actual truth on NPR, most of it irrelevant to anything….except
for “Car Talk”). AzCentral is, believe
it or not, the largest newspaper in Arizona, and it is also a tool of the USAToday,
which itself is a tool. And then there
is mediaite.com. Mediaite.com can
GRACIOUSLY be called far left in the same way as CNN can be described as a news organization. Mediaite is the next best thing to a David
Brock front (and by the time you read this, it may BE a David Brock front), and
its’ purpose is to portray any actual news in a left favored light, when it bothers
with actual news at all; it is solely in the business of turning your brains to
mush.
And that is it….across the board, Facebook considers anti-US
and anti-Trump news, from anti-American (and in at least two cases,
non-American) sources, to be the news that YOU should be interested in. THIS is no accident, this is the facebook
technique. And it is worse than you
think. This Cambridge Analytica thing
that the media is trying to distract you with and link it in to the fairy tale
of Russian Collusion…..this thing was STARTED by facebook when it allowed the
Obama administration to harvest data without issue because FB was a burgeoning
liberal mouthpiece. But the new version
of “the scandal” is right there in “trending news”; not only is FB in the news,
they are WRITING the news to make MORE news which is not newsworthy. I am told that the acknowledged mission of
the “trending news” staff is to put out items of interest, but that the
employees have wide latitude and wink and nod permission to make “adjustments”
as THEY believe appropriate. Never, EVER
think that Facebook is not partisan.
Facebook, because of its’ reach, is possibly the greatest leftist player
in the market…..
….you should know that….
…….it is trending.
