Liberals Celebrate Reports of Facebook Blacklisting Conservative News

Liberals across social media celebrated Monday after former Facebook contractors accused the website of blacklisting conservative news sites.

According to Gizmodo writer Michael Nunez, contractors tasked with running the site’s “trending news” section say they “routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers…”

Not only did the “news curators” suppress topics such as the IRS and Lois Lerner, Rand Paul and CPAC, but boosted reports on the Black Lives Matter movement despite it failing to trend organically.

As noted by many, although Facebook as a private corporation is permitted to highlight news as it pleases, the website’s practices have been viewed as immoral given their alleged role as a non-bias source for news. If Facebook is picking and choosing which stories appear in its “trending news” section, then the feature is based entirely on deception instead of being user-generated.

“It wasn’t trending news at all,” one former curator said. “It was an opinion.”

Upon learning of the alleged practices, liberals on Gizmodo’s Facebook page immediately applauded the social media giant for removing opinions they deemed unworthy – unsurprisingly labeling all other opinions as “hate” and “racism.”

Similarly, those commenting on Gizmodo’s Twitter account viewed the allegations as reason for praise.

Many, including some ideologically-consistent liberals, immediately noticed and decried the widespread support for Facebook’s alleged actions.
