This isn't a new problem. Old media has been doing this for centuries.

Old media usually has had opposition, like there is Fox but there is also MSNBC. Facebook is THE social network, even Twitter is a joke in terms of size against it.

  They were also discouraged from mentioning Twitter by name in headlines and summaries, and instead asked to refer to social media in a broader context.

Hah!

Indeed. It's not like there is the LA facebook or the NY facebook or the Chicago centinal facebook, etc... This is more like a "Global Times", let alone a "US times".

So anything they might do which appears to be editorialisitc in nature regarding politics would be of concern.
