CBN | Trump vs. Twitter: The President Pushes Back as Conservatives Say Social Media Is ‘Weaponized’ Against Them

WASHINGTON – To some it may seem the conservative vs. social media war is just beginning, but it’s been brewing for years.

Take conservative media mega house Prager University. Its videos have been viewed 3.4 billion times and counting, nearly four million people follow the group on Facebook, but a recent Facebook notification handicapped the organization.

An independent fact checker had flagged one of Prager’s one-minute videos.
