But I suppose we can say the same for CNN or CBS etc.
And, I can say the same thing about Fox, OAN, and Newsmax. What's your point. ALL BUSINESSES are in it to make money - FOX OAN and Newsmax are not exceptions. They will ALL say or do whatever it takes to maximize profits, period.

Facebook is just a medium to a larger audience than any of those, so it has more impact. It has a staff of Ph.D.'s which do studies only experimenting on their users to see what methods make for the most profit, and one of the studies found that anger is easier to generate and produces higher profits, so, they make sure users see things that make them mad. Just like CNN, MSNBC, Fox, OAN, Newsmax. It's all about money.


Oh, and have you stopped watching Fox, OAN or Newsmax, CNN, NBC, et all?
