AND THE DANGERS OF FACEBOOK'S POWER HAVE JUST BEEN ADDRESSED IN A NEWLY RELEASED INTERNAL MEMO BY FACEBOOK EXECUTIVE AND GUY ABOUT TO RAP ABOUT FRACTIONS, ANDREW BOSWORTH. IN HIS MEMO, BOSWORTH ACKNOWLEDGED THAT FACEBOOK HAD BEEN LATE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF DATA SECURITY, MISINFORMATION, AND FOREIGN INTERFERENCE. YOU'RE NOT LATE IF YOU'VE NEVER STARTED. YOU JUST ANNOUNCED FACEBOOK WON'T STOP RUNNING POLITICAL ADS AND WON'T STOP CANDIDATES FROM LYING IN THEM. THAT'S WHY WE'RE STILL SEEING ADS FOR BERNIE SANDERS' "ONE WEIRD TRICK TO LOSE BELLY FAT." ( LAUGHTER ) HE LOOKS GOOD. HE LOOKS GOOD. >> Jon: MMM! >> Stephen: NOW, DESPITE FACEBOOK DOING JACK-ALL ABOUT BEING A TOOL TO HELP TRUMP, AND BOSWORTH SAYING HE WANTS TRUMP TO LOSE, BOSWORTH DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING RASH, SUCH AS "ANYTHING," WRITING, "FACEBOOK HAS A MORAL DUTY NOT TO TILT THE SCALES AGAINST TRUMP AS HE SEEKS RE-ELECTION." ADDING, HE "FOUND HIMSELF WANTING TO USE THE SOCIAL NETWORK'S POWERFUL PLATFORM AGAINST TRUMP," BUT THAT WHEN HE FEELS TEMPTED TO DO SO, "I FIND MYSELF THINKING OF 'THE LORD OF THE RINGS' AT THIS MOMENT SPECIFICALLY, WHEN FRODO OFFERS THE RING TO GALADRIAL, AND SHE IMAGINES USING THE POWER RIGHTEOUSLY AT FIRST, BUT KNOWS IT WILL EVENTUALLY CORRUPT HER." OKAY, LOOK, I GET WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY HERE: YOU DON'T WANT TO USE EVIL TO DEFEAT EVIL, BUT... GALADRI-"AL"?! COME ON, MAN! IT'S GALADRIEL, LADY OF THE WOODS, LADY OF LORIEN, THE VALLEY OF THE SINGING GOLD. ONE OF THE THREE ELFEN RINGS OF POWER. GALADRIEL. GALADRI-"AL" SOUNDS LIKE THE ELF THAT RUNS A RADIATOR REPAIR SHOP IN RIVENDELL: "NO WAY I CAN DO IT BEFORE TUESDAY. SORRY ABOUT THAT." BEFORE WE GO ON, I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU BROUGHT THIS FIGHT TO ME, OKAY, DUCKWORTH? YOU'RE ON MY TURF DEFENDING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. A MAN WE CAN BEST DESCRIBE AS MORGOTH'S LEFT NARD. OH, YOU DON'T KNOW WHO MORGOTH IS? PERHAPS YOU KNOW HIM BY HIS VALAR NAME, MELKOR? BROTHER OF MANWE. NO? THEN BUCKLE UP, MELLON, BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO SCHOOL THE SHIRE OUT OF YOU. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) FACEBOOK-- FACEBOOK-- FACEBOOK IS AN ALL-POWERFUL DEVICE USED BY THE FORCES OF EVIL TO CORRUPT THE MINDS AND HEARTS OF MEN, SO IT'S LESS LIKE THE ONE RING AND MORE LIKE THE NINE RINGS THAT TURNED THE FALLEN KINGS INTO THE NAZGUL BEFORE BINDING THEIR FATE TO THAT OF THE DARK LORD SAURON. OH, AND, ALSO, UNLIKE YOU, GALADRIEL DOESN'T COLLECT A WEEKLY PAYCHECK FROM THE RING. NOW, GO BACK TO THE SHADOW. BECAUSE YOUR EXCUSES SHALL NOT PASS! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH LARRY DAVID.
