Mark Zuckerberg Doesn’t Want to Fix Facebook - a podcast by The Daily Beast

We might not have learned much from the Facebook Oversight Board’s punt this week on former President Donald Trump, but we did learn something: How utterly disingenuous Facebook has been on enforcement of its rules on hate speech.The social media giant, it turns out, never did have a strong system in place to deal with people like Trump. For years,New York Timeswriter Kara Swisher tells co-host Molly Jong-Fast on the latest episode ofThe New Abnormal.Also in the show, New Yorker staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe talks about his new book,Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Family. Finally, the economist and editor ofThe Black AgendaAnna Gifty explains why if we center economic policies on Black women, then “everybody inevitably benefits.”

If you haven't heard, every single week The New Abnormal does a special bonus episode for Beast Inside, the Daily Beast’s membership program. where Sometimes we interview Senators like Cory Booker or the folks who explain our world in media like Jim Acosta or Soledad O’Brien. Sometimes we just have fun and talk to our favorite comedians and actors like Busy Phillips or Billy Eichner and sometimes its just discussing the fuckery.
