A report from the Outline finds that conservative sites including Breitbart News and Fox have also seen dramatic falls in engagement, while 'mainstream' sites like CNN and the New York Times were unaffected.
Using data from analytics service Buzzsumo, the online publication found a stark contrast in the engagement rate for conservative media vs. mainstream media, with the former dropping sharply while the latter held steady. The Outline also found a decline in engagement for what they call left-wing “clickbait” sites, including Shareblue and BuzzFeed.
The Outline reports that engagement for conservative media, much like the decline in engagement on President Trump’s page, cannot be attributed to a decline in posting frequency.
'Mainstream' media saw their engagement hold steady or even increase, despite a moderate decline in posting frequency..

Then don't use Facebook. We'll miss all the "share this confederate flag if you're not a damn millennial commie" posts.
ReplyDeleteWe saw this coming. The liberal Facebook billionaire has succeeded in reducing conservative dialogue while the libs are untouched. Are you ready to give up your Facebook accounts? Or keep on supplying them with all your contacts and online site visits to sell the info to other businesses! This is what they are all about. And this is how they win elections. The main stream media is already on their side. And now your conversations are monitored and censored if they don't like what you say.
ReplyDeleteTime for the FCC to Investigate Google ?.
ReplyDeleteI mean Facebook.
ReplyDeleteYou don't even know which "liberal conspiracy" you're talking about even more
DeletePeople still use Facebook? Why? How many kissy-face selfies can you post?
ReplyDeleteWhat is needed is a "conservative facebook". Fox News is very popular and Murdock could finance and control this competition. I don't participate in these liberal social media sites.
