Journalists ruined Journalism. Not Facebook.

Facebook was the reaction to bad media. This really isn't hard. They can get as mad about it as they want but until journalists change, and their media outlets change, Facebook is still going to kick their ass, because Facebook's power comes from users.

That's all this is about. A coordinated media campaign to get the eyeballs currently on Facebook, off of Facebook and back on them, under the guise of "Facebook is dangerous and harming people" It's a media moral panic. That's it.

It's all the media is really talking about and I can't imagine it's interesting to anyone currently staring at empty grocery shelves and paying 4.00 for a gallon of gas.

Which is ironically, which drives people to places like Facebook - to find information they care about, and not what the New York Times cares about. And it drives them absolutely nuts that people have the ability to do this.

And this all started 5 years ago at the behest of the media and the Clinton campaign who blamed Facebook for Gamma not spending a single day in Wisconsin.

For instance if I wanted to know about the student walkout over sexual assaults in Loudoun County schools yesterday, where would I have gone for that information? It wasn't on CNN, NBC, CBS or ABC. The NY Times and Washington Post ignored it.

See your fucking problem now?

lol.. "Facebook ruined everything"

Good. You deserved it. Sleep in the mess of a bed you all made for yourselves. You earned it.
