could be the default agenda on Facebook until you establish your own priorities by clicking on some posts and blocking/hiding others.

I discovered this when my account got hacked a few years ago and I had to start over again from scratch. I was shocked and disturbed by the crap that was showing up in my newsfeed. The garbage is gone now and most of what I see is moderate to liberal. Still too many AI images and stories however.

Facebook has gotten worse and worse over the years and a lot of the real crap is coming out of third world countries, accounts looking for "clicks" and "comments" so they can get paid by Meta for their trashy slop.
