Dirty? This is not at all dirty. Ben (Shapiro), to much of my dislike, has really good content that some people like and others want to promote it. The whole sharing stuff is totally legal, and within the rules.

Also, if FB is allowing such "dirty" techniques, now known to most people, then why aren't they working for others? Michael Bloomberg spent like gazallion dollars for his election, he can sure take down Shapiro if it's indeed bigotry. Even, NYT has plenty of cash to promote it's content. You need content that people like, which Ben Shapiro has, and NYT can't get it's act together.

Rewriting old stories as new is definitely dirty, and no reputable news site is doing this.
The article points out that there’s a violation of Facebook’a policies.
The article mentions it at the end, Shapiro is best buddies with Mark Zuckerberg. That's something not everybody can replicate.
Mark Zuckerberg has no best buddies, and if you think the likes of Reid Hoffman aren't best friends with Mark, then you are willfully ignoring the reality.
