home, brian. all right. well outfront now, michael smerconish, host of cnn's smerconish. so, michael, today on capitol hill, you know, something that seemed to finally unite many democrats and republicans was their frustration and anger at facebook. senator after senator from both parties were placing blame on facebook saying it needs to be fixed. um, okay. but should the government be involved in fixing? >> if facebook doesn't fix itself, erin, i think the government will have no choice. i mean, what's obvious about this issue is that polarization threatens democracy. now, we see the proof that facebook contributes and knows that they contribute to that level of polarization. i think that up until now, we've all understood that bombastic personalities have driven this country into a partisan ditch. much more subtle, but yet there, has been the role of facebook through the news feed.
