President trump will meet today with several attorneys general from red states to encourage them to look into social Networks Like twitter and facebook to see if they quash conservative voices. President trump thinks they do. The networks say they dont. Bloomberg says trump asked for the meeting after twitter added a link to information about voting ballots into question and predicts no one will ever know the results of the election. Twitter added a link that said learn how voting by mail is safe and secure. The accusations that social networks are too hard on conservatives, or trump conservatives anyway, comes as Bloomberg Businessweek makes the opposite accusation that facebook is partisan but for trump.
