They want to get the whole world. Scary.
So are they going to be treated as publishers now
Another communist to spread propaganda
Local liberal news. lol
maggieNYT Quit Facebook now. It has made us horrible humans
maggieNYT That is realy frightning news.
davelevinthal Don't you mean FakeNews ?
maggieNYT Why Why is Facebook even in the news business? They should be where you catch up with old friends and post pics of your kids. News is the wrong business model.
Invest in homelessness and healthcare for children.
Flomousy Facebook has technologies that could help resource-limited local news organizations to gather news, and there are several well-qualified partners in this project. But those should have also included LIONPubs .
That's odd. I thought Facebook already had a print edition called 'The National Enquirer'.
maggieNYT This scares me very much.
maggieNYT Fuck FB
maggieNYT So typical of moguls. If you can’t control your appetite then control the minds of the public.
This will be a disaster.
maggieNYT A new, better Facebook with both real and fake news (all with advertising)
maggieNYT DeleteFacebook
maggieNYT It will turn into a colossal mess.
maggieNYT karaswisher why does this seem like a very bad idea?
maggieNYT Bad move, Facebook. 😱
maggieNYT facebook Facebook is over - soon all that will be left are preteens and drug dealers
'recruit 'trainee community journalists' and place them in local newsrooms and also help fund a program modeled after the Peace Corp, which will place 1,000 journalists in local newsrooms over five years' -- so will they officially be Facebook employees?
So, still no international news of any kind?
maggieNYT If those investments function with the same malevolence as Zuckerberg SF Hospital we should all take a hard pass sarahkliff
Boycott Facebook and anything they have anything to do with.
You mean more hate mongering, and destabilizing misinformation?
maggieNYT Wtf.
Pfft... chump change like that won't even build Trump's chain link fence...
maggieNYT What could go wrong?
I heard the nytimes and washingtonpost are going to be for sale
maggieNYT It’s official. We are all screwed. All hail Zuck!
maggieNYT The best news money can buy. It's not an 'investment.' It's a bribe, to help deflect attn on FB not protecting user accounts & not clearing trolls & bots off it's pages!
maggieNYT Well; the future now looks even more malign
maggieNYT Pardon the expression but that's a fart in the whirlwind.
maggieNYT Zuckerburg’s personal fortune is worth more than 50,000,000,000 dollars. This is an attempt to deflect criticism.
maggieNYT So it’s gonna be Sinclair vs Facebook in the local media war
maggieNYT Including Sinclair stations?
maggieNYT Corporate news via the Atlantic Council. Tentacles are expanding to control the world's news sources.
maggieNYT All great! More fake news!
maggieNYT Trying to buy their souls back. Too late.
Safety precautions?
For washing their sins. Too little & too late.
One year ago they said they were going to focus on relationship stuff and not news.
So they’re gonna take the Russian money they received to spread fake news, and then invest it into spreading more news...
What could go wrong
Facebook... 'if you say something truthful but contrary to liberal thinking we kick you off our social media platform' is pumping it's own money into local news? Surly that won't taint the news much.
oh I trust this a whole whole lot
That's scary. Another threat 2 the Nation. Monopolization of press can't be tolerated.
You mean propaganda
“Invest.” Like a propaganda ministry.
Scary.
This is why I kicked facebook to the proverbial curb.
Bad move. Not trusting facebook with news!
Facebook needs regulations now
He's done much more damage to America than that.
how much water did he drink
Awesome! No way this could go bad.
And yet my FB feed will still be clogged with things a friend posted 8 days ago that no one has reacted to.
“Not a Media Company”.
