Ken Burns blasted Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as ‘an enemy of the state’ who ‘doesn’t give a [expletive]’ 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.’ Burns, the 68-year-old two-time Oscar winner, made the remarks during an interview with Times podcaster Kara Swisher, who invited the filmmaker to talk

Nothing would happen to the NSA's number one source for illegally spying on America citizens and violating their 4th amendment and 1st amendment rights.

He was a tad incoherent, but he seems to blame Facebook for Trump's 2016 victory. He's not a conservative at all.

He's not upset with Zuck for reasons everyone should be, but because he buys the leftist self-delusion that Trump was only elected due to people believing "disinformation" on Facebook and not realizing that they should have voted for the wonderful, qualified, superior, highly moral and stunningly beautiful Hillary Clinton.

Trump's 2016 campaign did use social media very effectively. So effectively, in fact, that the social media biggies colluded to make sure it would never happen again. And btw, I guess Burns overlooked the zillions Zucky gave for dropboxes and other nefarious election stealing mechanisms.

Zuckerberg is not communist enough for Ken Burns. Too bad Ken, Zuckerberg has the power, and you don't matter, so stamp your feet and rage. Zuckerberg don't know you, and don't care about you.

Zuckerberg is such a odd person, looks like a sociopath. Who would be surprised if we discovered that he killed puppies for fun?
And that's completely aside from the fact that he is a totalitarian leftist puke.

They won't say WHY Burns is against these people. From Burns' past I would have to conclude it's because these media platforms didn't censor conservatives enough. And NOT because they censored too much.

Ken's a lefty, but I still love some of his documentaries (his one on country music is excellent) and he is so right here. Thanks, Ken.

When I look at the Zuccubus, the word that comes to mind is 'replicant'. I have serious doubts that he is actually human.

In spite of his fuzzy disagreement with Zuckerberg, ideologically, Burns is deadly serious. Otherwise, why would his favorite political figure be Georgia's "shadow governor" Stacey Abrams? There's no hope for him. Or Zuck. They must be politically routed.

They don't say why Burns is mad at Zuckerberg. Most likely Burns is mad at Facebook for supposedly helping Trump beat Hillary. Remember that old chestnut? It seems like a million years ago now that democrats couldn't face the fact that they had nominated the worst candidate for president ever, a woman who made numerous and manifold campaigning errors and had the appeal of a garden slug, so they blamed social media, the Russians, Fox News, and anyone else they could think of, for the loss.

"Enemy of the State?" Ken Burns has now gone full Stalinist. He is right about Zuckerberg belonging in Prison, although for the wrong reasons

Burns has always been a far left wacko and some of his “documentaries” have been full of excrement. Burns is just jealous.

I think there are a few black butts which Burns hasn't yet kissed - - but - - I don't follow what he does very closely - - so he may have kissed them all by now.
My guess is that he hates Zuck because he's way too white.

Don't get excited. Read the article. That headline as usual is misleading.
Zuckerberg isn't Liberal enough for Burns. It seems Burns blames FB for getting President Trump elected in 2016. Oh please! What has Ken been smoking? He also waxes all poetic starry eyed about Stacey Abrams. /gag
Move along folks.

Ken Burns just had an idea for his next documentary. Now if he can get it funded and shown on PBS, then he's in business.

Sounds like Ken Burns believes the 2016 election was stolen, which is grounds for being banned from social media, isn't it?

Um, 1,2,3,5, Burns isn't attacking Zuckerberg from the right; he blames Zuckerberg for Trump's election in 2016.
Rather odd for a filmmaker to assault the First Amendment, but no doubt he's secure in thinking there's no way HE is ever going to be silenced.

Don’t get excited. He thinks Zuckerberg should be jailed because he thinks Facebook is…wait for it…too pro-Republican. He buys into the narrative that Facebook played a significant role in Trump’s election, etc. And that Facebook allows too much “misinformation” (and guess what that means). Burns is a full blown lefty loon.
