| 0:00.0 | Once again, I open a segment with this story from May of 2016. |
| 0:05.4 | Gizmodo. Former Facebook workers, we routinely suppressed conservative news. A story from Gizmodo |
| 0:11.8 | with 2.7 million views where they actually state it was an issue of biases from the staff members. |
| 0:18.8 | It's a fact. We know it. Staff members have come out and told us. Well, here's the big update. |
| 0:25.4 | Since the complaints have been ever increasing and the issue has become very controversial with |
| 0:30.8 | the left saying it doesn't exist and journalists repeatedly denying it exists even though it was |
| 0:36.0 | Gizmodo that broke the story. Facebook conducted an independent review. They brought on a third |
| 0:42.0 | party to survey people to figure out what the problem was and why don't conservatives trust Facebook. |
| 0:48.3 | In the end, a report was published showing that there is a growing concern for specific reasons |
| 0:54.3 | without overtly admitting Facebook has bias. However, Facebook did make a change according to |

| 1:27.5 | ourselves we need to change some of the things on this platform because of a complaints from |
| 1:33.8 | conservatives. They are accommodating the conservatives after the conservatives complained. After news came |
| 1:40.1 | out, I'll tell you this. To me, the change in advertising that benefits pro-life advertisements as |
| 1:46.2 | they acknowledge the independent reviewer acknowledges is the tiniest morsel of proof that there was a bias. |
| 1:53.0 | One of the biggest complaints from organizations was that their political ads were being blocked, |
| 1:57.5 | but pro-choice ads were allowed. It was something about the format so now it's weird but I guess |
| 2:03.0 | what they're going to allow is tubes. But yes, it's even acknowledged by wired. The change was made |
| 2:10.3 | because of conservative complaints and this benefits pro-life ads. Look, nobody wants to admit it. |
