The last thing I am is a FB apologist, but your statement belies a lack of understanding of how large tech organizations work. The development process at a company the size of FB is so fragmented that the number of people who actually have

Facebook's brand is tainted enough now that smart engineers don't want any of the bleedover into their personal brand that would come from working there. How many engineers, in hiring positions, do you know that have a positive

This can go for just about any social problem. "We have to do something about X !" "Here's what sacrifices you can make to help..." "Oh, I meant we need to help, not me ."

That would explain CNN being at the top, but wouldn't explain why NYT and WP outrank Fox in the audit, by a 2 to 1 ratio, when Fox outranks them on Alexa.

Then why does Fox News outrank The New York Times and The Washington Post on Alexa, but both are represented at a ratio of 2 to 1 to FN in the audit?

by 5trokerac3 7y ago
How can this be true if their top source, by a ratio of almost 2 to 1, is the cable news network with the lowest viewership? CNN doesn't even have a show that cracks the top 25 cable news shows [0]. [0] https://www.adweek.c

They're smart enough to do essentially the same thing, but in a "soft" manner: overwhelm the area with Han Chinese and make it as difficult as possible for the local population to thrive, turning the once majority ethnic grou

So, what you're saying is that if in 2010 a TV show put the same thing on screen but had Obama instead of Trump, that everyone would think it was ok?

It's even worse. The previous controversy this show caused was actual calls to violence, including a very overtly "coded" message to assassinate Trump. So, CBS will let that run, but will censor anything that offends the comm

If someone came to the police and said, "so and so murdered someone", and there's no body to be found, would the police not demand as much evidence as is available? Would they charge someone with murder just based on an accus

It is your responsibility to protect your 4A rights. This is why you never let the police in your house without a warrant. Inviting them in allows them to search and charge you based on anything they find. Step outside and talk to them if t

There's a huge difference between incarcerating someone and getting a warrant for their phone records. Your analogy is made less relevant by the fact that if a woman is murdered they very likely would get a warrant for her partner&#x

Imagine this article being written in the 1930s and you know exactly the city they'd be writing about. You should be equally disgusted by the assertion that this totalitarian regime's city is the "city of the future".

I find your analysis to be wholly naive. Social media is a technology model purposely built to be addictive, and built to reward balkanization. The human proclivity for tribalism, resulting in witch hunts, is wholly exacerbated and magnifie
