Facebook Apologizes But Not Really and The Shut-Down Economy

Recently, Franklin Graham was banned from Facebook. Why? Because of a post protesting North Carolina's position on bathroom access. Franklin Graham is the son of Billy Graham and certainly has conservative Christian views. But he is an American and has the right to express his opinion and practice his religion. When the leadership of Facebook discovered their misstep, they immediately apologized and restored his status. Their explanation for the ban was that one of their fifteen thousand content moderators had determined that Graham's post was hateful based on his viewpoint. Dr. Bruce L. Hartman, author of Jesus & Co.: Connecting the Lessons of The Gospel with Today's Business World, will join me to discuss it. Many claims are being made about the government shut-down but is it affecting the economy? Dr. Michael Busler, public policy analyst, economics expert and a professor of finance at Stockton University, will answer that question for us.Don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day!
