A former Democrat party operative is now working for Communications at Facebook, and this person buried a negative story for the Democrats and promised a fact-check on the story. [1]
6 months later, the fact-check never came. He lied. He simply buried a story for political reasons.
With the revolving door between Facebook and political operatives, this is an obvious result. Partisan censorship and "deboosting".

- arcticbull 6y agoOut of curiosity, why do you refer to them as the "Democrat" party? Do you refer to their opposition as the "Republic" party? Seems asymmetrical no? Is it just for the harsher/more awkward pronunciation? I've seen a trend of this lately and I've been wondering - has it always been this way and I haven't noticed?
- readflaggedcomm 6y agoThe press used it long before it became insulting, though asking when and why it changed evokes actual insults.
- arcticbull 6y agoSorry if it came across that way, that wasn't the intention; was just curious. Thanks.
