I sat there looking around and heard things like:
1) Facebook has a very liberal workforce. Has Facebook considered diversity in their hiring practice? The country is 2% Mormon. Maybe Facebook’s company should better reflect that reality.
2) Maybe Facebook should consider a six-month training program to help their biased and liberal workforce understand and respect conservative opinions and values.
3) We need to see strong and specific steps to right this wrong.
It was like affirmative action for conservatives. When did conservatives start demanding quotas AND diversity training AND less people from Ivy League Colleges.

It was pretty amusing when I read that. He's not particularly wrong either, but its funny to see it in print.
I also forget that people take social media as a legitimate news source, why I don't know but they certainly seem to. If people consider FB a legitimate news source then maybe there's a valid point; I certainly don't.
Pretty good read, it's not what you think it'll be about at first. Super rambly though, hard to read, but wade through it for the last few paragraph where the actual take away is and it's a reasonable assessment.
