Facebook basically punked the entire news industry with the video nonsense. Trusting them killed a lot of jobs. A lot of jobs of people who write articles.

So I doubt[1] that there's an organized campaign against them of the sort they launched against Soros. But much like, if you punch a cop, you have to expect it won't end well, destroying a bunch of news rooms isn't going to endear you to the journalists picking up the pieces.

[1] Could be wrong.

Which basically confirms that the media is out to get Facebook.

I mean I suspect the same thing, but I wish everyone would be upfront with their motives instead of acting like they're just concerned citizens. Facebook's biggest critics are the same people that hated Facebook before they did any of this.

Nothing is quite so repulsive as someone with power motivations hiding behind a veil of morality.
