This title is very misleading and link pay-walled. sigh https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/facebook-launches-... FB also does Buzzfeed which is a very left leaning/liberal news org. What's your point OP?

The difference is that Brietbart isn’t just right leaning. It propaganda for fascists, and a machine of hate, targeting the mental inept.

It's nonsense, most of the time, but it's not Stormfront. This kind of hyperbole is not helpful.

Funny. I would have said the same about nearly every primary left-leaning media outlet.

Facebook is a tool for grandparents to see pictures of their grandkids since no one calls them anymore, why does this surprise anyone? Every time I see a nerd in SF walking around in a facebook hoodie I want to take them aside and ask, "do you know what you spend your life working on is garbage? Did you drink the cool-aid or are you just in it for the paycheck?"

Fascism is defined as right wing extremism[1]. Hating hate and haters is different than the hate of otherness stoked by fascists[2].

There’s a big difference between the right and left here. If you’re unable to look past your petty lines drawn with colors you’d realize one is a source of shit posting and the other is a source of hate.

It’s ignorance like yours that keeps progress back. But whatever...
