Reuters: Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg will meet this week with prominent conservatives in the media, a spokesman said on Sunday, to address allegations of political bias at the popular social networking site.

Some 12 “conservative thought leaders” will join the meeting with Zuckerberg on Wednesday, a Facebook spokesman said. Among the invitees are media personality Glenn Beck, Fox News Channel’s “The Five” co-host Dana Perino and Zac Moffatt, co-founder of Targeted Victory, a technology company that aims to bring transparency to media buying.

Facebook came under fire last week when an unnamed former employee told technology news website Gizmodo that workers often omitted conservative political stories from the company’s “trending” list of topics.  more here

  3. Not a conservative in that gaggle.

    People pretending to be conservatives meet a guy pretending to want a “dialogue” with conservatives.

    What a fuckin joke.

    izlamo delenda est …

  5. Punch’s antics are great theater.
    Mark should not have taken it personally.
    Sure, Donald doesn’t like the guy, and he said he would use the IRS to go after certain businesses, but everybody knows that if a president actually did that he would get hauled off to jail.
    Right?

  12. JohnS, please stop lying. Put up or shut up. Where’s the source where Trump said he would use the IRS to go after businesses? You don’t have one, because he never said it.

  14. Zuckerberg believes his own press releases and thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. He’s a little dictator in his Facebook world and pretty well a fraudster as it pertains to the company. He’s a lefty and you can be damn sure he hired other lefties as the content gatekeepers. As a result any content that goes against their world image will be held back from the people. I’d sooner believe a few of his ex-employees then this lying sack of crap. Watch for these “conservatives” come out of the meeting with a newfound respect for young Markie and a big check in their hands.

  16. Gladys, YOU are lying.
    You know what he said, on several occasions, about making ‘the hedge fund guys’ pay more taxes, and that is just one example.
    If that is not promising to use the IRS to selectively go after people, what is?

  19. Gladys, Your ignorance does not make others wrong.
    Donald’s ever changing tax proposals maintain one common theme, certain rich people (NOT real estate investors) do not, according to Trump, pay enough taxes. He is clear that he is not talking about across the board tax increases. He intends to target particular groups.

  20. Gladys,
    Maybe it’s best if we either IGNORE or just MAKE FUN of JohnS. After all, since he’s *still* stuck on his paid mission to disparage the next President, he’s clearly not to be reasoned with.

  22. I think it’s time we all affirm we’re not paid trolls.
    I’ll start.
    I, Burner, am not paid to submit (or read, report on) any posts at this or any other site.

  24. Burner.
    I doubt either Gladys or Czar are paid trolls.
    They are just misguided people who get agitated when anything conflicts with the narrow worldview they hold.
