Zuckerberg requested meeting with Podesta to help understanding of "political operations"
Reflects the purpose of the meeting and who it was with. The twitter title is misleading since Zuckerberg didn't want to meet with him in his role as Clinton campaign manager. He was even willing to wait until after the election.
Even if the title was suppose to be "wanted to meet with Clinton campaign". This is not necessarily accurate either. Zuckerberg did want to meet with John Podesta, but nothing indicates it was in reference directly to his role in the Clinton campaign. Zuckerberg has been more than willing to cross party lines to push his agenda, one I don't necessarily wholly agree with, and I imagine invitations of this sort went out to those experienced in creating political organizations across both parties.
The headline is phrased to attempt to imply a connection between Facebook and the Clinton campaign which the linked to email does not support.
