FILE PHOTO: Facebook logos Reuters An anonymous Facebook executive said conservatives' success on the platform is due to having content that is "always more engaging," according to a Politico report. Politico reported that the executive, who identifies as a "center-left progressive" said the right's focus on "nation, protection, the other, anger, fear" has always been an effective tactic, pointing to the 1930s. The comments come as Facebook has been criticized by the right and left for having a political bias, with social media platforms drawing attention from both President Trump and Joe Biden.
