Yo @brianstelter @oliverdarcy, it’s an interesting point. We’ve also seen this with Facebook pumping out controlled blog posts / background statements to show large #s cleanup. Is press being used as a tool of their PR depts with little ability to get answers to tough questions?
This is similar to when Facebook simply posts that they purged 500 gazillion fake accounts but meanwhile never provided academics access or any real details on past purges that looked entirely suspect.
To be clear, intent is not to criticize CNN here or any of the many news orgs who run with either companies press by blog post. Copying you as it seems like a reasonable question and you follow these things closely.
