ABC News will base its 2016 election reporting of US public opinion on opinions voiced on FaceBook:

“Facebook is going to be a central — maybe the central — arena in which political conversation happens in 2016. We’re thrilled to have a glimpse at what America is thinking, and excited to share it broadly with our readers,” ABC News BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith said in a statement.
NO WAY ARE OPINIONS ON FACEBOOK REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, BECAUSE MOST OF THE CONSERVATIVE HALF OF AMERICANS REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN FACEBOOK, EVEN ABHOR FACEBOOK!
Yet the very predominately liberal opinions on FaceBook will be reported nationally as representative of us! And these reports do have significant effect on voting!
“Given the volume of conversation around politics on Facebook, we believe this data truly represents what the American people think about the potential candidates. We’re excited to partner with ABC News and BuzzFeed News, who will both bring their unique journalistic perspective to this data,” Andy Mitchell, Facebook’s Director of News and Global Media Partnerships, said in a statement.
FaceBook is now even more clearly the enemy of the American people!
