What is interesting is how much power the owners of the newspapers in the past had. William Randolph Hearst of "You furnish the pictures, I'll furnish the war" literally got America involved in the Spanish-American War. More recently, the NY Times was a big proponent and probably helped drive a lot of the consensus that got America involved in the war in Iraq. Compared to these, where Zuckerberg is not actually pushing an opinion but refusing to censor opinions, Zuckerberg is an amateur. I think a lot of the hate that Facebook gets is from the old media that are seeing their influence wane and are blaming Zuckerberg.
