This is hardly a phenomenon that is specific to just Facebook. The vast majority of media in the United States is left-leaning and they don’t want to give you any opportunities to get news from them that has a conservative viewpoint.

I despise the right-wing, ascribe exactly zero value to their beliefs and consider the current conservative media paradigm comparable to Goebbels.

Of course FB is manipulative and unethical. I don’t think they’ve ever really hid that part of their business model. I run the page of a non-profit and they’re constantly trying to draw more money out, be it by encouraging like farming or manipulating paid reach. FB is slimy as all get out, but what is anyone going to…

If it’s true, it’s not just the right wing that will be angry. People already feel Facebook is manipulative and unethical; this is just more fuel for the fire.

Kudos to Gizmodo for giving this issue a serious examination. I admit that I would have predicted a Gawker site to participate in the very same hide-newsworthy-conservative-subjects editorializing that apparently Facebook did. Thanks for proving me wrong.
