Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has responded to a Trump tweet from earlier this morning which suggested that Facebook, among other media outlets, were "always anti-Trump" from the beginning (we noted the Trump tweets here).

In his response, Zuckerberg finally managed to interject some logic into the Left's latest, and most entertaining "Russian collusion" narrative which continues to allege that $100,000 (one hundred thousand) worth of ad buys on Facebook managed to sway the outcome of the entire U.S. election.

After acknowledging that he has recently found himself in the uncomfortable position of coming under attack by both the Left and Right for "helping" the other side, Zuckerberg pointed out, as have we on numerous occasions, that "campaigns spent hundreds of millions advertising online" which was "1000x more than any problematic ads we've found."

Trump says Facebook is against him. Liberals say we helped Trump. Both sides are upset about ideas and content they don't like. That's what running a platform for all ideas looks like.Campaigns spent hundreds of millions advertising online to get their messages out even further. That's 1000x more than any problematic ads we've found.

Of course, we made this very point recently by charting how the $50,000 that 'MAY' have been purchased by Russian-linked accounts to run 'potentially politically related' ads compared to the roughly $1 billion in political ad revenue that Facebook generated in the U.S. over the same time period...

That said, we're rather shocked that any Silicon Valley tech billionaire would have the 'courage' to prioritize truth over relentlessly toeing a party line whose ultimate purpose is to have a patriotic basis to shut down any media that offends the establishment narrative. Recall that it was one of Obama's last acts to sign the "Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act" Into law last December. This is just the spectacle for the masses to obtain the needed public support to crack down on the first amendment.

As for Zuckerberg, we imagine that his efforts to spread the truth, rather than a carefully crafted media narrative approved by the Democratic party, will prove to be somewhat troublesome for him and/or his business at some point in the not so distant future, forcing the young CEO to "admit" that Hillary did in fact lose because of the "Russian ads" now that the original Trump collusion story appears dead and burried.
