If you want to know how Facebook dies, this would be it.
There’s not a single person with more than 3 brain cells who thinks NY Times or CNN aren’t also “hyperpartisan” and when Facebook starts caving to so called “tech journos” it’s over, which is ironically what those outlets and journalists want.
NPR not hyperpartisan. Would love to see some research on that one.
Social media platforms willfully turning into outlets and traditional media models they murdered because those journalists cried that the audience wasn’t paying attention to them anymore is going to be a head scratcher for the ages

Guys, this is a really, *really good test about where our truth to power media stands.
Will they ask devout Catholic President Elect Joe Biden (which they reminded for us months) about the SCOTUS decision against Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Jeff Goldberg said at the time that more sources would come forward in the “coming days and weeks” to confirm their reporting based on an anonymous account.
None ever did & no one in the press held him to that statement.
CNN put a nurse on the air, the segment went viral, and now her story is falling apart. There will be no one accountable for this.
Gosh why are people turning away from gatekeepers and to echo chambers and their own sources for information. wired.com/story/are-covi…
Perhaps @brianstelter would like to look into how this happened and address it. Seems like a media story worth looking into.
Jake Tapper won't address this on his show. Brian Stelter will ignore it. There won't be suspensions of Camerota or the producers. No eye rolls from Anderson Cooper.
But that same crew will still snark at Tucker Carlson over his segment asking for evidence from Powell last night
We're just going to pretend we weren't predicting a blue wave for months of public polling. Susan Collins was going to win all along and the Democrats wipeout in the House was always expected.
This is the typical "How Democrats actually won by losing" take we've seen for years. Just dressed up in Nate Silver's special brand of hackery to keep the barbarians from storming the gates of his entire profession.
So again, feel free to judge Trump based on his words and his tweets here. But don't pretend this sort of bullshit just magically started on November 5th, 2020.
I would even argue it's the only reason he's doing this and acting out this way. To show the media hypocrisy. His people know the race can't be overturned, or won in the House or anything else. It's over. Biden is president. Trump was always going to go out like this.
