One of the left's demigods is PBS documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, maybe best known for his series on The Civil War. Interviewed recently by The New York Times, he really unloaded on Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Zuck’s second in command Sheryl Sandberg. The Daily Mail (U.K.) has the story.
Ken Burns blasted Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as "an enemy of the state’" who "doesn’t give a s***" about the United States and thinks he and his No. 2, Sheryl Sandberg, should be tried for crimes against humanity and put in prison.
"He knows he can transcend it. He can get away to any place," Burns, the award-winning film documentarian and historian, told The New York Times. ‘And so it’s just about filthy lucre, that’s it.’
The filmmaker said he thought tech moguls like Zuckerberg, Sandberg, and others should stand trial like the Nazis at Nuremberg after the Second World War.
‘Because these people - and Sheryl is a complicit - the Nuremberg of this, is if it ever happens, which it won’t, will be pretty interesting,’ he said.
‘The way that we’ve been able to temporize and say, oh, it’s okay, we’ll just go a little bit further. Right?’
Conservatives don't like social media leaders because they favor the left. Burns' beef with Zuckerberg and Sandberg is that they actually let an elected President (whom Burns didn't like) post stuff for most of four years.
How could they be that heinous? Doing so was criminal according to Burns. In a battle between Burns and Zuckerberg, ideally both of these Asperger's overachievers would lose.
Somebody whisper in Burns' ear about the First Amendment's protection of free speech. Speech everyone likes needs no protection. It's speech people don't like that needs protection from forces (like Burns) trying to stifle it.
