by facebook on any of that of course not the facebook employees aren't in control of the company and this is what they're angry about so they went outside the company to try and gain control of the company that's what this this so-called whistleblower who really is just a ridiculous left-wing activist attempting to grab control of the reigns of power herself that's what she is doing it's the reason why democrats are upholding it why do you think that these specific documents were leaked not to places like daily wire or daily caller or breitbart why do you think they were leaked to all of the legacy media outlets because the legacy media elite are in on it the legacy media outlets love it anything that reestablishes their stranglehold on information is good for them so this facebook former employee went to a pr manager and they tranched out these really non-revelatory documents to a bunch of outlets that are sympathetic to the idea that facebook needs to stop disseminating information that is not the legacy media outlets it's a power grab it's that simple it's not about principle it's simply about power as always alright so according to the wall street journal facebook employees focused special attention on breitbart the documents show criticizing facebook for showcasing the site's content in news tab and for helping it sell ads they also alleged facebook gave special treatment to breitbart and other conservative publishers helping them skirt penalties for circulating misinformation or hate speech right-wing sites are consistently among the best-performing publishers on the platform in terms of engagement according to data from newswhip that is one reason facebook is often criticized by people on the left who say facebook's algorithms reward far-right content facebook says it enforces rules equally and doesn't consider politics in decision making facebook spokesman andy stone said quote we make changes to reduce problematic or low quality content to improve people's experiences on the platform not because of a page's political point of view when it comes to changes that will impact public pages like publishers of course we analyze the effect of the proposed change before we make it now again the the goal here with this entire tranche of stories from the media are to push facebook to do more censorship this is why when you hear people on the right they're like yeah facebook does a bad job because they are censoring right wing speech there's truth to that there really is i mean again i know the internal metrics there's truth to the notion that they have specifically targeted right-wing sites by changing policies like for example the people who are the most engaged they have prevented those people from having their engaged posts reach a lot of people they've also changed the the way that the stories are distributed by measuring how much of a site's traffic comes from facebook if too much of a site's traffic comes from facebook they ding the site and they reduce its reach which of course benefits legacy media outlets like the new york times or cnn which have existed for a much longer time and have been able to gain market share long before facebook arrived right so it is simply true that facebook has dinged right-wing traffic this is well known in the industry but when the wright complains about that and then they say we can make common cause of elizabeth warren and the left no you guys have diametrically opposed solutions the right says facebook needs to open up more and allow more speech and leave us alone and the
