Sen. Ted Cruz calls out Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook's censorship of conservative views


I'm very glad Cruz told the world in front of Mark Zuckerberg's face that Facebook censors conservative thought as a business practice.

Bloomberg reports U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, peppered Facebook Inc.

He referred to reports in 2016 that Facebook suppressed news from conservative sources in its "trending stories" column.
