'Sounds like you want Facebook to suppress Conservatives.' Ben Shapiro DROPS Nate Silver in WHOPPER of a thread

For whatever reason, there is an ocean of blue-checks out there who have their britches all sorts of bunched up because the majority of top stories on Facebook are being written by Conservative sites.

Forget that these numbers are driven by the people who want to read said stories … our friendly blue-check brigade just can’t deal with it.

Like Nate Silver for example:

Kinda feels like Facebook has stopped even trying… https://t.co/z3ktYMFDV9

OR maybe Facebook is finally trying to make sure all viewpoints have a place on their platform …

Man, Nate, this was so elitist and awful.

Hence the blue check.

Ben Shapiro spoke up:

Kinda feels like you want Facebook to suppress conservative sources https://t.co/86hdifbqA8

Kinda?

I’d be more than happy to host @NateSilver538 on the Sunday Special to talk about this and any other topic. I’ve invited him before, with no response.

We’d LOVE to see Ben interview Nate. #MakeThisHappen

Worth noting: I recommended Silver’s excellent book in statistics two years ago on my show. I’ve always valued his analysis. But this is absurd.

Notice Ben’s support for Nate’s work and yet he can still see his statement was absurd.

Dude is so good at this. Heh.

Even when Facebook’s shifted algorithm slammed our traffic in 2017, I never suggested regulating them. And I certainly have never said that they should suppress traffic to Leftist outlets. But Hillary lost, so the Left must try to take control of Facebook or destroy it.
