As Twitchy told you, the New York Times’ Kevin Roose reported that the top-performing stories on Facebook about the migrant caravan have been from conservative media outlets:
Not a shocker, but the top performing stories containing "caravan" on Facebook in the last 24 hours come from:
1. Fox News (also the #1 performing link overall)
2. Breitbart
3. Fox News
4. Ben Shapiro
5. Daily Caller
6. Ben Shapiro
7. Daily Caller
8. News & Guts
9. Breitbart— Kevin Roose (@kevinroose) October 23, 2018
Former Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer can only draw one conclusion from that:
Facebook is rapidly becoming a conservative media outlet https://t.co/GeNQ7vL7Sn

Dan’s never struck us as particularly astute, but this is pretty ridiculous even for him.

It’s just too much.
Also worth noting:
So you’re admitting that Facebook’s a publisher. https://t.co/WSMtvZVs4b
