The nice thing is that you don’t have to see the Trump ads on FB although Trump acolytes will. Yes, they lie. They lie more blatantly than a time share or a multi-level marketing presentation. In any medium that will sell ad space to him the ads will lie. It would be nice if the companies that sell ad space cared about the content of the ads. This is America. They don’t.
First, the facts – the Bidens were investigated by Ukraine and were found to have committed no crimes in Ukraine.
“Facebook” has been known to be a Russian Asset since the 2016 election, so, if you still utilize “Facebook”, then you are little better than a Russian dupe, yourself.
AMI did the “catch and kill” to plenty of Trumps most embarrassing moments …. just saying that killing real stories is at least as good as making up fake stories….
Facebook has a couple of points that make sense to me:
1: Political advertisements in other media have traditionally been unconstrained by a requirement to be true
2: It’s really really difficult to decide if any particular hype is a lie. Example: “I intend to drain the swamp in DC!”
It would be nice if there were a FB equivalent where i could keep track of distant (and not so distant) friends, relatives and interesting people; where I could read news articles that were to the best ability of very able people, entirely true, except where they were very explicitly opinions, and where lollipops grew on the trees. But I don’t really see that it’s possible.
The Markster calls this ‘freedom of speech’. Of course, with any freedom comes responsibility (regardless of what the NRA thinks). Markster doesn’t see it that way. He thinks everyone should have unlimited free speech as long as it puts money in his pocket.

Mark Zuckerberg’s only concern is making money. Much like the Republicon party, ethics and morality have know place in any of his decisions.

Trump’s lies are inadvertently paying off for Biden who could beat Trump if the election was held today.

Joe Biden’s polls have gone way up since the so-called scandal about his son. It’s called karma!
