Social media must end anti-conservative bias

SILENCED: Boston Herald Radio host and columnist Adriana Cohen garners many comments on bostonherald.com but few on Twitter.

I’ve been asked to testify on Capitol Hill this week before the House Judiciary Committee to share my personal experi­ence with social media bias against conservatives.

I will inform the bipartisan panel that many of my 16,000 Twitter followers have told me they can’t see my conservative opinion columns in their feeds. That could explain why every week, my column gets heavy traction on the Herald’s site but hardly gets any engagement when I post it on Twitter.

For example, my Boston Herald column titled “Russia Truth Coming Out” on May 22 was the No. 1 trending piece on the Herald’s site. It got 62.3k Facebook shares on the Herald’s site and hundreds of comments. But the same column on Twitter got virtually no traction. To be exact, it got only 11 retweets, 26 “likes” and two comments. On April 5, my column titled “Trump Exactly Who We Need vs. China,” was the No. 1 trending column on the Herald’s website, but on Twitter it got only nine “likes” and five retweets. Last week, my column titled “No Holds Barred in Democrats’ Attacks” was again the Herald’s No. 1 trending piece, but on Twitter it only got 15 “likes,” six retweets and five comments.

Hearing in Doubt? Christine Ford’s Lawyer Rips Senate Plan to Have Prosecutor Ask Questions: Not ‘Fair and Respectful’

In the letter addressed to Sen. Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Ford’s legal team cites Sen. Majority Leader’s Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) speech on the Senate floor on Monday afternoon as “flatly inconsistent” with Grassley’s promise of a “fair and credible process.”

“In our view, the hiring of an unnamed ‘experienced sex crimes prosecutor’ as Mr. Davis described in his email, is contrary to the Majority’s repeated emphasis on the need for the Senate and this Committee’s members to fulfill their constitutional obligations,” attorney Michael Bromwich wrote. “It is also inconsistent with your stated wish to avoid a ‘circus,’ as well as Dr. Blasey Ford’s repeated requests through counsel that senators conduct the questioning. This is not a criminal trial for which the involvement of an experienced sex crimes prosecutor would be appropriate.”

this is getting fucking hilarious
