Facebook Exposed Yet Again: Deep Political Bias at the Media Giant

James O’Keefe and the team at Project Veritas released the results of their latest effort—interviews with a  former Facebook employee and undercover video that is—if nothing else—convincing. The notion that Facebook is viewpoint neutral should be summarily dismissed. From the report: One of the content moderators was asked if she deleted every Republican item that came up on her queue, she said: “Yes! I don’t give no *****, I’ll delete it.”  The same moderator said she does not take down anti-Trump content, even if it did violate policy. “You gotta take it down but I leave it up,” she said. “If you see something that’s not supposed to be up, it’s probably me” (ProjectVeritas).  

Ed Morrissey: Hopefully, a Senate committee will drag Zuckerberg back in front of the cameras and show him this tape. They could also call McElroy to rebut whatever denials Zuckerberg offers, as well as subpoena the content moderators seen in this video to demand some answers on whether Zuckerberg knowingly lied to Congress about the nature of that moderation. That would make for a good start toward accountability (HotAir).
