It’s no secret that the Silicon Valley tech giants discriminate against conservatives and conservative content.

Last week President Trump warned Google about it’s biased practices against conservatives and conservative content in their search feature.

Twitter has also been accused of shadow-banning Republican politicians and conservative voices.

And Facebook is probably the worst violator. Facebook has been shutting down traffic to conservative websites since the 2016 election.

In March 2017 Columbia Journalism Review published a study of the 2016 election that found conservatives had abandoned the liberal mainstream media in 2016 and went online and to social media to get their news.

Harvard University published a similar study months later.

After this study was published Facebook went to work and started censoring conservative content through a series of algorithm changes.

By Summer 2018 this is what the Facebook influence map looks like today.

Facebook was on a mission to delete conservative websites. Most prominent conservative publishers from the November 2016 election have been hit hard or eliminated.

Facebook wiped out traffic to several top conservative websites: Gateway Pundit, Infowars, Truthfeed, Ending the Fed, The Political Insider, Young Cons, Allen West, Sarah Palin, 100% Fed Up, Western Journalism, redstate Watcher, Pamela Geller, IJR, and others were almost completely wiped out. Breitbart and Daily Caller also took a significant hit. (The very influential Drudge Report was not listed in the study.)

A study by Western Journal found that since 2017 liberal publishers have seen an increase of 1.86% in traffic. The same study found conservative publishers saw a decrease of 13.71% during the same time period.

Conservative content is being eliminated from Facebook.

Now this…

The White House has reportedly drafted an executive order to probe Facebook and Google censorship and bias.

It ought to be an easy investigation to complete.

White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs reported on the development on Friday.
