&gt; i.e. The real problem with Facebook and the News is that facebook is fucking blatantly spreading propaganda by misrepresenting consensus and then lying about it.<p>I would say it&#x27;s good they do that. Just like dang &amp; co diligently try to control what gets to frontpage and what doesn&#x27;t (specifically, banning certain outlets known to be bad&#x2F;unreliable and trying to slow down hastily-thunk grab-your-pitchfork movements in favor of rationally-minded and considered stories).<p>If you don&#x27;t do this, Trump happens. Trump is a product of a capitalistic-media which kept providing an easy diet of shit. If facebook is preventing brietbart stories from reaching the top, more power to facebook.
