Why blame Facebook and not:

- the media for giving this guy so much coverage
- people for not fact checking
Blaming Facebook feels like shooting the messenger. It’s not going to fix any of the underlying issues going into 2020. At worst it’s a distraction, like birthers against Obama.
- hackinthebochs 8y agoIt's a strange meme that "facebook elected Trump" when every news org gave him billions worth of free coverage because it was good for their bottom line. They elected Trump because they knew a Trump presidency would be the best thing to happen to them since Monica Lewinsky. Somehow we all seem to have forgotten that.
