> 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.

I would say it's good they do that. Just like dang & co diligently try to control what gets to frontpage and what doesn't (specifically, banning certain outlets known to be bad/unreliable and trying to slow down hastily-thunk grab-your-pitchfork movements in favor of rationally-minded and considered stories).

If you don'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.
