An independent investigator has issued a preliminary report on its work determining the existence and/or extent of bias against conservatives on Facebook . It’s refreshingly light reading — the complaints are less “Facebook is a den of liberals” and more “we need more transparency on ad policies.” The report was undertaken in May of last year, when Facebook retained Covington & Burling, led by former Republican Senator Jon Kyl, to look into the allegations loudly being made at the time that there was some kind of anti-conservative bias on the social network. Reports say White House has drafted an order putting the FCC in charge of monitoring social media “We know we need to take these concerns seriously,” wrote VP of global affairs and communications Nick Clegg.
