I'm not sure what the message is here, though. Should the person running FB news have no political affiliations at all? Because if that's the standard, then it seems what you'll get is just people hiding their political affiliations, which doesn't seem particularly good for anyone.

No, the point is that Facebook has been trying to position itself as an arbiter of political neutrality while consistently taking actions that obviously indicates the bias it has.

You can't claim you have no position while simultaneously taking actions that benefit one side or another. If they're going to go that route, they might as well just come out and say what their bias is rather than gaslighting people into thinking that they're neutral.

Which actions are those? This person was taking sided actions outside the context of FB. Which actions is FB taking that benefit one side?
