      Wow Google is all in with the conservative Federalist Society which engineered the multi-decade effort to foster judges like Kavanaugh and Gorsuch for the Supreme Court. Facebook vice-president was in DC hearings to personally support Kavanaugh. Silicon Valley is so “liberal.”🙄https://twitter.com/mcmillen/status/1048901189914513408 …

      Worth noting that @Google is the only tech company that's a top-tier supporter of the Federalist Society. It's absolutely shameful, but unfortunately most employees don't care. pic.twitter.com/3PJNWevq1s

      Facebook’s top sites are often hyper-partisan right-wing sites and also.. this. All the complaining you hear about “liberal bias” in Silicon Valley is just strategic playing the referees—who are pretty easy to play, apparently.

          No that’s not the structure of my argument. Facebook and YouTube have been great for Breitbart and Trump for example—it’s that success that moved Fox closer to them. Tech platforms are biased towards the hyper-partisan and Breitbart plays that better.https://twitter.com/open_mix/status/1048985130105262080 …

          Fox News is the most watched cable news, ergo cable is biased. @jayrosen_nyu is trying a similar argument.

          On October 11, 2017, Microsoft's political action committee made a $1000 donation to Rep. Mark Meadows, widely reported as one of the key voices demanding a transgender ban in the military, and threatening to vote down legislation that did not include it. https://www.cnn.com/2017/07/26/politics/congress-transgender-policy/index.html …

          as with every corporation, they try to play nice to both sides the suggestion that facebook, twitter, google, or any of these companies have a liberal bias has always been utter nonsense they have a bias towards profit

          Additionally, having a bias towards profits over ethics is a right wing economic perspective. So they are actually biased in favor of conservatives.

          Here is a spreadsheet of all the senators who voted for Kavanaugh, along with the money they have been given by the "liberal" tech giants in Silicon Valley.
