I love Andrew Klavan's sense of humor. He shows how the media is now focussing heavily on porn star Stormy Daniels, while they could also be covering news like over 300,000 new jobs were added in February, the threat of us dying as the result of a North Korean nuclear bomb is lessening, the unemployment rate is at a 17-year low, the black/white labor participation gap has virtually vanished, European allies are offering to negotiate to give us better trade deals (after Trump announced tariffs on steel and aluminum).
Michael Knowles says the Russians only spent $100,000 to mess with our elections.
Knowles has been studying Facebook's algorithms and their effect on conservative sites. They may not intentionally be aiming at conservative sites, but they are hurting them. Because of the Russian algorithms, Facebook is privileging the New York Times and other traditional news sites that people used to get their news from before Facebook. Andrew points out that those traditional sources used to be center Left but they actually are now Leftist all the way. When you privilege mainstream media, you are privileging the Left. Both the Left-wing new media companies and the right-wing new media companies are getting hurt by Facebook's new algorithms linking to stories in traditional media. Other platforms are less crafty than Facebook. Twitter admitted to targeting conservative sites. They admitted on James O'Keefe's videos that they "shadow ban" conservative sites. These sites don't even know they have been banned; they just find that people are interacting less with their profiles. YouTube is explicitly censoring conservatives, such as Prager U's videos on the Ten Commandments and the Korean War. YouTube blocks high schools and colleges from seeing those Prager U. five minute videos. They partner with the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is a Left-wing hate group. Facebook is the largest publisher in the history of the world, and they are not regulated at all as a publisher.
