While Mark Zuckerberg was in Washington trying to bullshit the Bullshitters, Pamela Geller, a real journalist wrote an article for Freedom Outpost explaining Facebook's liberal bias. The place is crawling with former employees and volunteers from the Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigns. In fact, Obama's former media analytics director, Carol Davidsen said that the Obama 2012 campaign "actually able to ingest the entire social network of the U.S.” Not too shabby of an advantage. The Romney campaign, lamentably, was not privy to the same information.
The article goes on to make this astonishing claim: "that Facebook representatives visited the Obama campaign offices after the 2012 election and told them they were allowed to get away with it because “they were on their side.” Nope, no partisanship or political bias here. What puzzles me is why a journalist can find this information, but the geniuses running the country can't???

This does not include Facebook employees who do not have Linkedin accounts or neglected to mention past experience on their profiles."
Pretty impressive! Yet Congress couldn't find a one. What do you want to bet that if they had worked for President Trump, they'd all be under subpoena right now? Oh well, nothing to see here... move along. Hey, thank God they at least protected us from Diamond and Silk! I don't know about you, but I feel the Fakebook "community" is a much safer place today...
