Facebook head of news cofounded site critical of Elizabeth Warren

I feel like this is grasping at straws. Facebook’s head of news co-founded a site <i>in 2015</i> that promotes school choice, something supported by a majority of people and a super majority of people of color: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalreview.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;11&#x2F;school-choice-strong-voter-support-for-expansion" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalreview.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;11&#x2F;school-choice-strong-...</a>.<p>The articles posted on this site were critical of Warren because of Warren’s opposition to school choice, but has also criticized the other Democratic candidates for taking the same position: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.the74million.org&#x2F;article&#x2F;stewart-the-democratic-presidential-candidate-have-something-for-everyone-except-classroom-students" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.the74million.org&#x2F;article&#x2F;stewart-the-democratic-...</a>.<p>The attempt to make it seem like the criticism of Warren on this site has anything to do with Facebook is pretty weak. The site was started long before Warren said anything critical about Facebook. The site also has a good faith basis for being critical of Warren in this front. Warren’s opposition to school choice highlights a distressing fissure within the Democratic Party: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gse.harvard.edu&#x2F;news&#x2F;19&#x2F;08&#x2F;ednext-poll-democrats-divided-over-school-choice" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gse.harvard.edu&#x2F;news&#x2F;19&#x2F;08&#x2F;ednext-poll-democrats...</a><p>&gt; African American Democrats support targeted school vouchers, universal vouchers, and charter schools at 70%, 60%, and 55%, respectively. Among Hispanic Democrats, support for the three policies is at 67%, 60%, and 47%. On the other hand, just 40% of non-Hispanic White Democrats support targeted vouchers, 46% support universal vouchers, and 33% support charter schools.<p>The site is addressing a real debate within the Democratic Party, consistent with its founding principles, not using some contrived pretext to attack Warren for her comments about Facebook.

A similar article seems to have gotten de-prioritized pretty quickly yesterday: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=21504985" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=21504985</a><p>What is the hnews policy for when &quot;politics&quot; collides with &quot;tech&quot;? These articles are only going to be more common as the election approaches.

To those who downvote and think this kind of discussion is &quot;off-topic&quot; for HN: When and how do we hold our titans of industry accountable for their actions?<p>Many here either work at FB or are reliant on their network for work related activities.<p>All of this would be a whole lot less critical if Facebook did what Twitter did and bowed out of taking political ad money.

Politics is full of bad actors, I do not think Warren is one of those people. You can disagree with her, sure, but she just wants to create fairness for all in my opinion.<p>Facebook is the opposite of this, with their closed systems, back door dealings and often shady business practices it makes perfect sense that they are opposed to her.

It&#x27;s pretty clear over the past few months that Facebook has decided that it&#x27;s going to support specific candidates and is abdicating it&#x27;s role as a &quot;communications medium&quot; (Trump on the right, Buttigieg on the left).<p>Their decision to accept paid lies (ads) by candidates (as opposed to Twitter) should tell us everything we need to know that FB views the targeted conspiracy-theory factually untrue bullshit - as a thing to be embraced (nay, not to avoid) - all for profit.<p>Time will tell if they permit all such ads or only the ones that they prefer.

I am shocked that this is news. A business person is critical of a politician. Who cares? Would this be news if, say, the head of Apple News was critical of Donald Trump?

If she was on the board of a publication that promoted teacher&#x27;s unions and left-wing ideology this would not be news. However she promoted charter schools and is anti-socialism, so therefore it&#x27;s a big storm in the Twitter-verse.<p>I for one love capitalism and would rather send my child to a charter rather than the high school near my apartment, where the Dean of Peace Relations was recently convicted for attempted murder of a student he recruited to deal drugs.[0]<p>People without any means are forced to send their children to the monopoly school if they can&#x27;t afford private and there are no charters. School choice is always preferable.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wbur.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2018&#x2F;05&#x2F;31&#x2F;shaun-harrison-guilty-boston-student-shooting" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wbur.org&#x2F;news&#x2F;2018&#x2F;05&#x2F;31&#x2F;shaun-harrison-guilty-b...</a>
