It's not a flippant remark - it's argument to extreme [1] (ie, paining those who question FB as only Trump-haters when many people have questioned FB long before CA/Trump entered the mainstream discussion).

It doesn't help FB that Trump is associated with them and that he's in hot water already.

The reason why I called it out as flippant was because I felt that they might have had a valid point, that Facebook was being unethical with regards to influencing elections, but they did it in a really poor way which ended up having the effect you mentioned in your response.
