Here’s a five minute YouTube video of Senator Ted Cruz questioning Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook’s leftist bias and its suppression of non-party line content. As with all good cross examination, the witness’ answers are irrelevant. The fact-based questions answer themselves. Zuckerberg’s scripted and dithering answers and nervous lip licking only reinforce the impression that Cruz’s questions are hitting the target and that Zuckerberg can’t be trusted.

Hopefully the social media robber barons who believe they have the right to eliminate all political views with which they disagree will take notice. Yesterday was a warning shot. Whether it will cause them to clean up their act remains to be seen. If they don’t, the government may step in and create a real regulatory mess which will impact their bottom line profits and unconstitutionally restrict free expression on social media.
