“Mr. al-Baghdadi’s death, they said, occurred largely in spite of Mr. Trump’s actions.” Extraordinary to see military officials fighting with Trump hours after the event. https://t.co/2hy96RPNP6 — PolitiTweet.org

Worth checking out Facebook's @mosseri engaging with @NateSilver538 @cwarzel and others today (on Twitter, which remains useful in spite of itself) — PolitiTweet.org

@joshtpm The ones who do don’t get paid still get Facebook’s stamp of approval. And, theoretically, the chance to generate more traffic. — PolitiTweet.org

@gaberivera @murraymatt @qz @delaney Asked about Breitbart’s inclusion in the tab, Zuck says he doesn’t want to talk about specific pubs. Makes hand-wavey comments about diversity. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@Jessicalessin Except... Facebook including Breitbart is almost certainly a political decision on FB’s part. And there are plenty of subscriber-based businesses that both-sides it. — PolitiTweet.org

@gaberivera @murraymatt Thomson takes time to point out that Wsj would-be competitor @qz, founded by Wsj alum @delaney ”is on life support.” — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@gaberivera @murraymatt Thomson mentions a field trip Zuck and other FB execs took to News Corp. and Fox a few years ago, where they learned that different parts of those companies work differently. Asks Zuck what he thought about that. “Profound... really valuable.” — PolitiTweet.org

@stevekovach Nope! Three year deals. — PolitiTweet.org

@alexeheath @stevekovach @gaberivera @murraymatt Crazy that these two dudes wouldn’t just let it rip and first-thought-best-thought it but here we are. — PolitiTweet.org

@gaberivera @murraymatt Zuck references the multi-year deals as a commitment that FB won’t screw over its new media pals. https://t.co/epZM1z8SHU — PolitiTweet.org

This Nixon-to-China Facebook-to-News Corp presser is such a big deal that @gaberivera has left Brooklyn to attend. — PolitiTweet.org

@DaveFinocchio from zero to $3mm plus. One big difference is they're paying for stuff publishers have already made. A license fee instead of a rev share, or instead of custom work. — PolitiTweet.org

One between the lines note: Regular Facebook newsfeed is Trump Trump and more Trump. New Facebook News, not so much. — PolitiTweet.org

News people use Facebook's News tab to poke and prod. NYT: "Facebook is taking a welcome first step toward recognizing the differential value of New York Times journalism." BuzzFeed: "Of course, we’re still waiting for Google, in particular, and others to follow Facebook’s lead" — PolitiTweet.org

@mat I have worked at several! One time I came in and [redacted] and [redacted] were drying their socks on the radiator but to be fair that didn't have anything to do with WeWork. Just a fun story I like to tell. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

On the other hand! When you say that your founder and previous CEO had a metaphorical gun and you had to pay him a $200mm consulting fee to put that gun down and leave, that's pretty candid. Also a pretty good summary of founder/funding culture up until now. https://t.co/rtkGFHMws9 — PolitiTweet.org
