As Twitchy reported earlier, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg talked to Fox News’ Dana Perino about Twitter adding a fact-check link to President Trump’s tweets about mail-in ballots and about Facebook’s own policy, in that it “shouldn’t be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online.” That frosted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who argued that Zuckerberg is only protecting Facebook’s user base of white supremacists.
Now we have Elizabeth Warren, the Native American woman whose father was a janitor and who was fired from her teaching gig for being visibly pregnant, not only accusing Zuckerberg of allowing politicians to lie without consequences but also slamming him for announcing it on the hateful Fox News.
Zuckerberg went on Fox News—a hate-for-profit machine that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracy theorists—to talk about how social media platforms should essentially allow politicians to lie without consequences. This is eroding our democracy.https://t.co/0RXLEAw9xz

Johnny Dollar notes that Warren is still reading from her campaign script, word-for-word while also proving herself a hypocrite.

Deja Vu all over again:

"Zuckerberg went on Fox News—a hate-for-profit machine that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracy theorists…”.@ewarren August 4, 2019:

Hey, isn’t that Bernie Sanders? The socialist whose supporters Joe Biden is considering luring to his campaign by naming Warren his vice president?

Which cable news channel is giving a megaphone to racists again?
@Twitter can you fact check this ridiculous statement???

You're off the deep end, Liz. WAY OFF.

You trying to silence the largest cable channel (which I don’t even watch) is “eroding democracy.” Clown.

Look at you taking a stand against freedom of speech.
This is why you should never and will never be president.

We should just censor and ban anyone who we don't agree with. That seems like a better idea.

So now Dems are against free speech? Still waiting for Warren to take a principled stance with actions, rather than VP posturing.

No, he’s telling people to think on their own. It’s a giant bulletin board, let people think on their own.

You know exactly what you are doing now Warren? You are lying! I'm thinking of what the consequence of this lie should be ?

This sounds remarkably like an attack on the free press by a member of government.

Warren is mad because Zuckerberg won’t bow to leftie pressure. She thinks the only truth is her truth.

You know first hand about politicans lying, don't you @ewarren
— TIm Weeks (@teamrope) May 28, 2020
He’s absolutely right. That’s not the role of @Facebook or any other social network. It is our right to listen what politicians say, we can manage our own filters and make our choices freely!

No, these have become the primary tool for public discourse. Look at what's happening to print journalism. The framers could not have anticipated this in the First Amendment. No fan of Zuck, but he's right. They can't be the arbiters of who is allowed to say what.

It’s a good thing Warren got most of the big lies out of her system before there was social media to scrub through.
