When Meta Bows Down to Trump

As Mark Zuckerberg dumps fact-checking, CNN precisely details his sucking up to the president-elect

With our On-Target video series, we try to find positive examples in media coverage during these often negative times. That’s why Mark Jacob and I spotlighted the reporting of CNN. When Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg kowtowed to Donald Trump in several ways—including getting rid of fact-checking, announcing a plan to move “biased” teams from California to Texas, and removing restrictions on topics such as immigration and gender—CNN wrote a strong story explaining his anti-democratic surrender. We can surely expect more MAGA abuse on Zuckerberg’s Facebook and Threads.
