Glen Beck actually wrote a piece after the meeting saying he took Mark at his word, and complained about the tenor of the other conservatives in the meeting: http://www.glennbeck.com/2016/05/19/what-disturbed-glenn-about-the-facebook-meeting/ http://www.glennbeck.com/2016/05/19/what-disturbed-glenn-abo...
> But until then, based on our research and my personal experience with Facebook, I believe they are acting in good faith and share some very deep, fundamental principles with people who believe in the principles of liberty and freedom of speech.
- adamnemecek 10y agoThe fact that he went to the meeting suggests that he had some questions about bias in media.
- bpodgursky 10y agoFacebook invited a group of who they considered "leading conservatives" to Facebook to discuss this personally after the allegations came out. Glen was on that list. I don't think many people would have turned down that invitation, whether or not you had concerns beforehand.
- harryjo 10y agoThat meeting featured the leading right-wing clowns. The sad thing is that they are the most popular "conservative" pundits. Facebook could do better to engage with less shrill demagogues on all side of political spectra, instead of promoting clowns. (Note: a clown is a smart person who plays for a dumb audience.)
- Kalium 10y agoI was quite surprised at the very reasonable position Glen Beck took. Very interesting.
- talmand 10y agoThere are accusations that he's sucking up to Facebook for more exposure to save his failing web enterprises. I don't know enough to say which is which, but there's almost always another side to the story.
- michaelbuddy 10y agoGlenn Beck's organization is hemorrhaging cash and he's looking for a cow to milk. Why he thinks it'll be facebook is beyond me.
- maxerickson 10y agoWhatever else he is, he is intelligent and cynical.
