...to make sure it didn't promote conservative web sites.

There will be a day when a Republican gets into office who will use the left's playbook. You folks won't like it when that happens:

The Biden White House inquired in meetings with Facebook executives asking whether Facebook could tweak its algorithm to showcase stories from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal over content posted by "polarizing" conservative journalists and commentators in early 2021, according to meeting notes the social media firm turned over to Congress that are alarming some constitutional lawyers. The alleged focus of the meetings was to assist the administration while it struggled to combat COVID vaccine hesitancy.

The memos, reviewed by Just the News, chronicle a series of meetings between White House digital director Rob Flaherty and executives from Facebook, now known as Meta, in spring 2021 as the first questions about the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccine began surging on social media.


There was no "asking", let's be clear about this. This was a "We need you to do something, so you better do it" conversation.

Broken record me:

We should be taxing and unionizing the crap out of all these Liberal companies.


These Corporate Fascist Liberals -- need to be cut down to size.

Funny part: It's our side that makes life easy for these corporations.



Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.....is to the Right of me on this labor issue. Bernie Sanders is too Conservative and too pro business for me on this issue.
