President Trump has complained this week about social media companies, repeatedly accusing them of censoring conservative voices and even signing an executive order seeking to limit their power. But data from Facebook pours cold water on that assertion.

But data from Facebook, the world's largest social media company, pours cold water on the assertion that conservative voices are being silenced.In fact, according to CrowdTangle, a data-analytics firm owned by Facebook, content from conservative news organizations dominates Facebook and often outperforms content from straightforward news organizations.

Other conservative outlets in the top 10 for US political media over the last month: The Western Journal in fifth with 4% of the total interactions; TheBlaze in seventh with 3% of the total interactions; IJR in eight with 2% of total interactions; and the Washington Examiner in ninth with 2% of interactions.

Umm..it’s mainly twitter that people complain about

He's following my path

It´s quite simple, if Trump doesn´t like the rules he should qit his accounts. He is not interested in free speech, he wants to spread his lies.

Please tell Twitter to block his account

Don’t know if I believe cnn but would you report it if you found otherwise? I doubt it.

“from Facebook”....

Can't fix STUPID,but you can vote it out,,,

Ah yes, Facebook, the most trusted social media outlet. Free of censorship and bias. You guys make it too easy.

Trump’s a pathological liar

On facebook: I have reported someone calling african americans 'monkeys'. They did nothing. Just today one of my friends was called a 'faggot'. I reported it. They did nothing. Facebook looooooves racists and homophobes.

Whatever! Don't think so Trump. You never know what side the Mafia is on! He should leave Social Media alone, because it's not always what you know, it's who you know😎

Awwww Poor Baby!

Is there anything trump doesn’t complain about?

Right wing voices should be censored. Fucking nutjobs. ALL of them.

Facebook isn’t all of social media. And that’s an internal study with no external or independent review of those findings.

Just burp him, Change his diaper, and put him to bed. Cranky

Conservative news organizations/straightforward news organizations?

Yeah we listen to fake news.

Give it up -- nobody believes anything you say.

The article has a source with data. It's not just 'CNN spreading fake news.' If you have a counter to the data or contrasting data, that's another thing.

No, Donald Trump Is Not a Working-Class HeroSalena Zito argues that Trump is the sole reliable friend of people who make things with their hands. Unions would disagree. Ah works at Con America. Who the hell is Salena Zito and why have you elevated whatever stupidity she's spewing? Is she someone? Zito ignores the large of people who went to college but whose working class parents sacrificed so we could get an education. We have WC class relatives we admire and love. How dare Zito equate ignorance and hatred w/WC values. Don't look now but Trump is losing white WC women.
