Marge Simpson has words for Trump advisor

 

Marge Simpson. Yes, the fictional character from the decades-running TV sitcom The Simpsons has something to say to Donald Trump and his campaign, excoriating senior legal advisor Jenna Ellis, who tweeted likening California senator Kamala Harris’ voice to hers, a racist and sexist trope that invokes the common, “angry Black woman” stereotype.

Facebook employees collected evidence showing the company is giving right-wing pages preferential treatment when it comes to misinformation. And they’re worried about how the company will handle the president’s falsehoods in an election year.

...While there are signs Facebook will stand up to Trump in cases where he violates its rules — as on Wednesday when it removed a video post from the president in which he claimed that children are “almost immune” to COVID-19 — there are others who suggest the company is caving to critical voices on the right. In another recent Workplace post, a senior engineer collected internal evidence that showed Facebook was giving preferential treatment to prominent conservative accounts to help them remove fact-checks from their content.

The company responded by removing his post and restricting internal access to the information he cited. On Wednesday the engineer was fired, according to internal posts seen by BuzzFeed News.

“Intervening in Fact-Checks”

With heightened internal tensions and morale at a low point, concerns about how the company handles fact-checked content have exploded in an internal Workplace group dedicated to misinformation policy.

Last Friday, at another all-hands meeting, employees asked Zuckerberg how right-wing publication Breitbart News could remain a Facebook News partner after sharing a video that promoted unproven treatments and said masks were unnecessary to combat the novel coronavirus. The video racked up 14 million views in six hours before it was removed from Breitbart’s page, though other accounts continued to share it.

As it is not revealed my guess is covid, and it's kept secret to prevent him losing the election.

Unhelpful speculation. As much as I dislike Trump, he has my condolences. Anyone can feel grief.

I have just been told anyone in the US can request a death certificate (or at least find out the cause of death), under the Freedom of Information Act, apparently.

You are correct. Death certificates are public record. Of course, "spinning" a death certificate is not unheard of, in particular for the wealthy.

It really tells you how much Donald J Trump is held in utter contempt by people that I have personally received 5 texts/FB messages etc from friends saying "The wrong Trump died!" or words to that effect.

I would be beside myself if he still lost, despite all his ridiculous efforts to prevent his loss otherwise.

Trump's postmaster general appointee who has a holding in Amazon and $30mil worth of US Post subcontractors and competitors, has slowed delivery and increased losses. Trump quality appointee I'm sure. I'll take a guess the mail boxes removed above are part of service reduction.

Just googled and USPS have decided to postpone box removal until after the election, at least for western states. It's unclear to me what the situation is for the rest of the country. USPS say it's a normal adjustment program and not reduction.

Apparently that Jared bloke (according to Wikipedia) has impeccable manners and never loses his temper. He was certainly polite here, despite being asked a few tricky questions. His father in law comes across as pretty clueless however.
