This will just allow the MSM to generate a bunch of stories claiming that the nation is distraught over the GOP win, based on the work of a handful of Facebook trolls.
That is because there is nothing special about Politico, not an especially interesting website.
This story tells me that ABC and other news orgs are still failing and flailing, they are not reliable and respectable news organizations.
—hummmm- if they check mine (which I suspect only three of my “friends” read , it’ll sure show an anti-Demo lean-—I plaster it with everything anti-Obama I find-—
Who needs Facebook when you have Free Republic!!
Well, FB knows mine, believe me.
Are they using my real fake name to collect data is the question.
With so many fake identities on Facebook how reliable can their data mining be. Facebook is full of themselves.
They can mine away on my fake facebook account all they want. I use it only as a convenient access method for hundreds of thousands of websites that accept facebook login credentials, or even better, simply accept the facebook logged-on cookie and consider me already logged onto their site.
(BTW, would here anyone be surprised to know that my mined fake facebook account would show that I’m a shell backed conservative?)
Raise your hand if you are surprised by this.

That’s it. Raise them high.

Okay...

Now...
Curl your hand in to a fist and punch yourself in the face for being so naive/stupid.
Facebook keeps a history of not only what pages you go to, but every like you click and correlates them to associate people into categories...essentially doing psychological profiles. It’s not perfect, but there’s a lot of data mining available to them.
God help us.
Another reason to ditch facebook
Facebook exists for the purpose of data-mining as much as it can about its users, no matter what subject.
“The president has put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very, very powerful.”
And that database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it’s never been done before.”
Maxine Waters
As Bill Belechik once said, “I don’t use Tweety, My Face or Yearbook”.
There’s nothing they can get from me.
Which suits me just fine!
CA....
Great plan. Now they will know what all those blondes in bikinis are thinking.
This is a plan which will fail to be of any use.

It seems that Netflix does this too because as I gave 1 star reviews to a bunch of Lefty propaganda (and propagandists), it suggested Palin and other right wing videos to me.
I call it Socialist Networking for a reason. A lot of low information voters getting inaccurate memes from liberal hate groups and spreading them as a viral cancer.
