The really funny thing is that no one reads the article:

>> Facebook’s reach statistics show that mainstream news content is far more common on Facebook than the far-right content Roose was featuring.

And this reference to the content Roose is featuring is indeed:

>> Journalist Kevin Roose began publishing a Twitter feed in July 2020 that showcased the 10 “top performing” links on Facebook as determined by Facebook’s Crowdtangle analytics tool. Most days, the “top performing” links come from right-wing commentators and provocateurs like Dan Bongino, Ben Shapiro, Fox News and others.

So everyone’s carefully constructed contrived debate schematics topple.
