Most political ads are falsehoods

Democrats are starting to freak out over Facebook's policy that allows political ads with lies

Dems are mostly freaking because Facebook will not be biased in their favor.

Trump goes full Nixon:

Trump to order federal agencies to drop N.Y. Times, Washington Post subscriptions

Trump would be a dufas for not remembering Nixon.

Zucker wants more bias:

NEW YORK (AP) — CNN chief Jeff Zucker says Facebook’s policy not to monitor political ads for truth-telling is ludicrous and advised the social media giant to sit out the 2020 election until it can figure out something better.
Zucker, in an appearance Thursday at a conference sponsored by his own network, also derided rival Fox News as “conspiracy TV” and expressed interest in hiring its former news anchor, Shepard Smith, who left earlier this month.
Traditional media is organizing around specialized tribes.  They are frightened about new digital media breaking through to their captured market.
