      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.

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Alcofribas

      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 …

          Plus the business interest in tech align almost perfectly with the extreme definition of economic freedoms as the highest of all freedoms that the Federalists champion.

          Can't remember where I saw it but everyone just wants to belong, whether the group is right or wrong, belonging can be a powerful motivator

          I'd agree with you that there's a structural bias to partisanship. A successful formula in the attn econ is using rage and hasty judgments to go viral. & I think cons have generally been better at utilizing partisanship.

          However I think there is a conscious moderation bias in favor of the left.
