    Liberalusm can't stand up to scrutiny. Disagreement is repugnant to liberals.

    Did it escape you?

    You don't seem to know how analogies work.

    Facebook is open to everyone, even the KKK has promotional pages, it's the editors that chose to avoid posting some right leaning trending stories.

    In order for your analogy to work the cake shop would have to promote more conservative views than gay views, but it would have to promote some gay views....

    ...and it would still have to sell gay cakes.

    Sure I do! They work if - and only if - you agree with it.

    We don't need a recap. So far, my analogy is just fine. A bakery is a public business, and leftist clowns like you insist that it needs to be open to everyone as a result.

    So go on...

    In order for your analogy to work the cake shop would have to promote more conservative views than gay views, but it would have to promote some gay views...
    Uh...WTF are you talking about. I replaced proper nouns and nouns with other nouns. I didn't change verbs nor add conditions.

    That's why it works. Even more evidence that it works is that you're here complaining about it. That's proof that it works.

    The fact is that if Adelaide wants to claim that Facebook has a right to censor and discriminate (because it's a private business, donchaknow!) - and I demonstrate how in a dizzy leftists like you will get if I substitute 'bakery' for Facebook and 'gay wedding cakes' for 'conservative newsfeeds', you have no leg to stand upon.

    ...and it would still have to sell gay cakes.
    I have no doubt that in leftist world, you can rationalize any bullsh!t you want. You guys prove it every day.

    Do those conservative/liberal views pay Facebook to post those views?

    If you focused less on melodrama and more on meanings and information you would go much farther in life.

    Ah well, I tried. Be well.

    Oh? How far will I have to go in life to meet your approval then? And if I've already gone farther than that; than you, will you perhaps consider that if you focused less on smarmy leftist clucking you'd go farther in life?



    Dismissed.

    Should they? Traffic is what pays Facebook.
