　　Facebook was always anti-Trump. The Networks were always anti-Trump hence, Fake News, @nytimes(apologized) & @WaPo were anti-Trump. Collusion?

　　..But the people were Pro-Trump! Virtually no President has accomplished what we have accomplished in the first 9 months-and economy roaring

　　Trump’s reference to the New York Times having “apologized” for its coverage presumably alludes to a letter from the publisher and executive editor to their readers in the aftermath of Trump’s upset over Clinton last November. In the Nov. 13 letter, they questioned whether Trump’s “sheer unconventionality” led them — and other media outlets — to underestimate his support among American voters. They also expressed a desire to “rededicate” their newsroom to the paper’s fundamental mission: “To report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor, striving always to understand and reflect all political perspectives and life experiences in the stories that we bring to you.” The right-wing blogosphere and Trump chose to interpret this as a tacit admission of bias.

　　Facebook does not run editorials or commission its own articles, although its proprietary algorithms play a role in determining what content users will see. A former Facebook employee claimed last year that the designation of certain topics as “trending” was manipulated to downplay conservative opinion, but that allegation has not been substantiated.

　　Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and co-founder of Facebook, responded Wednesday evening to Trump’s accusation with a lengthy Facebook post, writing that he wants the social media network to be a platform for all ideas where everyone has a voice.
