14 Years of Mark Zuckerberg Saying Sorry, Not Sorry (washingtonpost.com)
Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg? The Washington Post: From the moment the Facebook founder entered the public eye in 2003 for creating a Harvard student hot-or-not rating site, he's been apologizing. So we collected this abbreviated history of his public mea culpas. It reads like a record on repeat. Zuckerberg, who made "move fast and break things" his slogan, says sorry for being naive, and then promises solutions such as privacy "controls," "transparency" and better policy "enforcement." And then he promises it again the next time. You can track his sorries in orange and promises in blue in the timeline by The Washington Post. Mark Zuckerberg, in an interview with CNN Business on Tuesday: Zuckerberg resisted growing calls for changes to Facebook's C-suite, reiterated Facebook's potential as a force for good, and pushed back at some of the unrelenting critical coverage of his company after a year of negative headlines about fake news, election meddling and privacy concerns.
"A lot of the criticism around the biggest issues has been fair, but I do think that if we are going to be real, there is this bigger picture as well, which is that we have a different world view than some of the folks who are covering us," Zuckerberg told CNN Business' Laurie Segall at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, California. "There are big issues, and I'm not trying to say that there aren't," he said. "But I do think that sometimes, you can get the flavor from some of the coverage that that's all there is, and I don't think that that's right either."

Many of the noisiest on the left are corporate billionaires. Hollywood is essentially a corporation.
Yes, nothing says "the left" like a corporate billionaire.
Eyeroll.
Are you serious? Some of the most vocal lefties have HUGE fortunes. Most are in the entertainment industry or the tech industry.. or politics.
Bloomberg: $58 billion... That guy is about as left as you can get, short of being a commie.
Hillary Clinton: $110 million
Jay Robert Pritzker governor of Illinois: $3.2 billion
Edward M. Lamont Jr., Connecticut governor: $300 million
John Kerry: $200 million
Al Gore: $100 million
That is by no means an exhaustive list.
