Does Facebook have a liberal bias? - Smoky M - 11-09-2012 12:27 PM

I only seem to see Obama ads on Facebook, but never ones for McCain. And even though I keep voting Thumbs Down on the Obama ads, they keep turning up!

obama campaign had paid for the ads to run, mccain has not, so you will see them for a while. until nov 4th that is

No, as much as I would love to completely rid my profile of Obama's face, Facebook doesn't really control whether Obama or McCain have more ads. The Obama campaign paid for the ads, the McCain campaign didn't.

the ads are targeted at you based on your profile generally, and also the groups youre in, just based on keywords and stuff. so maybe your profile says something about not liking obama? it isn't smart enough to differentiate..
