Facebook Pledges $300 Million to "Support Journalism"

Facebook made a $300 million pledge to help journalists — just like Google did last year

Facebook says it is going to spend $300 million over the next three years to support journalism.

Does that sound familiar?

Here's why: Ten months ago, Google said it was going to spend $300 million over three years to support journalism.

Facebook says it's just a coincidence that it landed on the same dollar amount that its primary competitor landed on last year. But I'm not complaining. In part because I want Google and Facebook to spend money supporting journalism. And also because it means I don't have to rewrite this piece, from March 2018: "Google and Facebook can't help publishers because they're built to defeat publishers."

  300 Million, all of which was stolen from the public. They buy and sell your private (and public) data but produces nothing.

  For the jew there's but one thing of value: money. How he gets it makes no difference.

  The first trade goods are generally worthless trash of all sorts. That's how the little Jews start out. Soon they've reached the point where they can sell from a tray, and before long they've assembled a complete line of goods. Not long after, they own a regular stand. The most ambitious soon own a small shop, and then a bigger shop. The most cunning [that is, the most unscrupulous] eventually have warehouses and banks and move into the most splendid mansions in the cities, provided that they don't get in each other's way, as in the narrow ghettos of the East.

  That's why they try to escape to rich lands with rich people. They need other peoples, because they need the wares with which to do business.

  [...]

  The parasite nation of Judah is responsible for a large part of international crime. In 1932 the Jews, who made up only 1% of the world's population, accounted for 34% of the world's dope peddlers, 47% of robberies, 47% of crooked games of chance, 82% of international crime organizations, and 98% of dealers in prostitution.

  Nothing has changed about the jew. Still the universal sponger, the peddler of private data of other peoples. The great master of lies.

  Listen to yourself. Don't YOU like money, don't you need it to clothe, feed and house yourself?
  If you are too dumb and can't recognize the value of what is in front of you, how is that a jew's fault?
  You deserve to have someone eat your lunch.
