Glenn Beck: Fooled by Facebook?
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/24/16 | Selwyn Duke

Mr. Beck. You found Zuck and Company cordial--they just find you useful

In the wake of reports that Facebook censors conservative voices, media figure Glenn Beck met with company chairman Mark Zuckerberg and emerged from the meeting, as he put it, “convinced that Facebook is behaving appropriately and trying to do the right thing.” Nothing to see here, move along. Unfortunately, this is nonsense.

Beck admits in his article on this subject, “I am not an expert on data or AI or algorithms.” Neither am I. But the Facebook censorship in the news isn’t about artificial intelligence but human intelligence—and its biases. In fact, the focus on technology could be (I’m not implying this is the case with Beck) an effort at Machiavellian misdirection: “Watch what the machine is doing, watch the machine, so you don’t see the man behind the curtain.”

I don’t think he’s fooled, he just smells an opportunity, and Beck is nothing if not an opportunist. He probably thinks if he kisses Zuckerberg’s behind, he can become the pet conservative of Facebook with all the influence that would come along with that.

Glenn Beck is sucking up to anything to keep himself fiscally viable.

It’s easy to be fooled by anyone when you’re off the wagon and hitting the sauce.

Judging by his behavior, it’s not hard to believe GB fits the bill.

Why would anyone be surprised that the "brown shirts" meme now in use by the Demagogic Party got its start in the mouth of the demagogue Glenn Beck?

Are jock straps required with “magic Drawers” or does your tin foil hat repel those logical thoughts?
