This has been common knowledge for years. Is the general population not aware of Facebook’s business model?

To be frank, Fox has been parroting the same conservative rhetoric for as long as I can remember. It’s the same as it was during the Bush years and the Obama years - O’Reilly has been replaced with Hannity and when Hannity retires another talking head will take his place. On the other hand CNN, NYT, Washington Post, MSNBC have shifted so far to the left, they would be unrecognizable to a time traveler from 15 years ago. Remember when CNN was considered in the center of the political spectrum and one of the most “objective” news source around? There is a pronounced bias in the mainstream media and it is not towards the right.

Not at all a false equivalency. How do we encourage artistically oriented people to be more mathematical? How do we change ESFJ into INTP? How do we increase IQ? Just hecause certain traits are mental rather than physical doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
