I get a kick out of these things. I get an even bigger kick out of claims there's no bias in the media, or that their groupthink liberalism isn't basically just a propaganda machine for one side in this country.
Marc Zuckerberg of Facebook just gave a long rambling interview on what FB is doing about content and hate speech etc. Well in that interview he basically said Holocaust denials won't be taken down as hate speech outright b/c some who express those views may just be naive. In essence, he put forth the idea of "good faith Holocaust deniers" to borrow one article's phrase.
Now how is that so different from Trump's comments re Charlottesville that nearly caused a national riot? Trump was IMO talking about the people there defending keeping up historical statues, not talking about the white supremacists at all, but Zuckerberg was definitely talking about people denying the Holocaust who are just somehow naive.
Now if that was a conservative head of a big company, his a$$ would be heading out the door so fast he'd get a neck injury. But see Zuckerberg is a HUGE liberal. Big donor to liberal causes and beloved by the liberal elites, b/c he's one of them.
So it will barely get covered. It's in the article, there will be a half dozen high brow stories on Facebook's troubles with content management, and yes even criticism of how they are doing with it.
But calling for him to resign b/c the head of Facebook just seriously soft-peddled on a "hate group" of people who are almost unanimously anti-Semitic? I bet not.
See, Papa John just needed to give enough money to liberal groups instead of naming sports facilities and come out for open borders and such and he'd have gotten some mulligans.
Just a late night musing on the humor of it all.
