Also, besides the fact that the premise of the comparison is bullshit, I'm also calling bullshit on tabloids doing better than the FT.

1. Far right content has no natural advantage over equally... let's say... energetic content on far left. Both make highly emotional, dire cases for their side. 2. The far left can & has engaged w/"fire", tho mainstream left politicians mostly don't in the way conservatives do.

There was always been one major advantage on the far right when it comes to social media: leveraging coordinated behavior to orchestrate content performance, *especially* on Facebook. This was clear all the way back to the G*m*rG*te Discords and remains a clear problem today.

Twitter took action against this type of behavior to some success. Also the smaller slice of the American audience makes it easier to cap the spread here. Facebook has mostly made it more difficult to measure.

The thing is, that type of behavior isn't supposedly allowed by social platforms. So the real difference is that the left plays by the rules and far right does not and then Facebook makes up a bunch of bullshit instead of enforcing the rules.

Also the far right can pump out more adjacent content quickly, creating artificial trends, because they don't care about telling the truth & can make crap up and post it to Facebook w/no consequences. Yeah, it's harder to engage people when you don't lie and the other side does.

There are things Facebook could do about these issues. Instead it feeds unchallenged bullshit to Politico via anonymous sources, because even Facebook knows it can't stand behind this utter lie of a statement.

Fuck Politico for not burning this source. That's what you should do when someone lies to you and tries to play you. Not give them this bullshit headline and allow an anonymous source to help Facebook dodge blame and redirect it at leftist media. Bullshit.

Now should the far left violate the rules of the platform of Facebook refuses to enforce it's own rules of engagement? Maybe! I think likely so. But that's an entirely different discussion than the allegation here that the left has no media that engage baser instincts. BS.

The only thing this tells us about the anonymous Facebook executive is... He's either purposely lying or he doesn't read any leftist media.

This headline is an embarrassment.
