Facebook Enlists Eric Holder’s Law Firm to ‘Advise’ on Anti-Conservative Bias
Breitbart ^ | May 2, 2018 | by Allum Bokhari

Facebook has enlisted a team from law firm Covington and Burling to advise them on combating perceptions of bias against conservatives. One minor detail: Covington and Burling is the firm of Barack Obama’s left-wing former attorney general, Eric Holder. According to Axios, the team will be led by former Senate Republican Whip Jon Kyl. Kyl was a vocal critic of Holder during his time in the Senate, and was rated highly by conservative organizations. After Kyl retired from the Senate, he joined Covington & Burling, where Holder had previously been a high-profile partner.

The former attorney general is still a partner at Covington & Burling, and was recently retained by the state of California for their expected legal showdowns with the Trump Administration. Holder has publicly flirted with the idea of running for president in 2020, telling reporters earlier this year that he would make a decision by the end of 2018.

So, to sum up: Facebook, a California-based company, has enlisted the same firm that is providing legal advice to their state against the Trump administration, through none other than Eric Holder, to advise them on combating perceptions of bias against conservatives.

Looks like Facebook is going full on hate mode - not even trying to hide it.

Is this a joke? Holder of Fast and Furious and other dubious and treasonous BS? FB is as morally bankrupt as Holder, IMO.

Liberalism is a mental disease and Liberals are insane.

They get a charge over being right up in our faces, and laughing at our frustration.

I expect them to hire George Soros as the Ombudsman for conservatives.

“Eric, we’ve been caught trying to work against conservatives. How do we convince people we’re not biased even though we are and will continue to be? Can we do something like the Democrats did when they were caught not caring about sexual harassment and their carefully crafted deception that they do had fallen apart or do we need to do something else that looks and sounds good but has no substance?”

What they need to do is create a Safe Book where progressives can go to never ever see anything conservative and you cannot be on both Safe Book and Face Book.

Combating "perceptions of bias," not bias. IOW, this is just PR, not an attempt to rid itself of bias.

IMO, Facebook overlooked hiring Lois Lerner to be their expert on how to subvert conservatives. She may be overly qualified, ya think?

If we were to connect the location dots across the USA, and world for that matter.....you will find Obama’s picks working this entire “save his legacy’ ploy and ‘oppose/defeat Trump’ throughout.....with Soros funding the majority of it all.

combating perceptions of bias against conservatives.

Blanketing the bias.
Sugarcoating the bias.
Make the bias more effective by making plausible excuses for it and/or redefining it as Inclusivity.

Does this mean that Holder is assuming the Shakedown Crown formerly held by Jesse Jackson, and to a lesser extent, Al Sharpton?

I’m now convinced that the entire concept of Net Neutrality had already been setup with FB to be the gateway.
The switches were all in place, most was ready for prime time.
Then Trump was elected....

The master plan to control the media message all collapsed.
