This is the guest list for Facebook's meeting with conservative leaders
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is meeting Wednesday with conservative leaders to discuss how the social network approaches covering conservative news stories. Radio show host Glenn Beck said Sunday he plans to attend.
Among the other confirmed guests are the American Enterprise Institute's Arthur Brooks, CNN's S.E. Cupp, Fox's Dana Perino, and former Mitt Romney digital director Zac Moffatt, CNN reports. Donald Trump aide Barry Bennett is also set to attend, according to Politico.
Facebook's methodology of curating news has come under scrutiny in light of a recent Gizmodo report alleging that the site intentionally suppresses news from conservative sources. Facebook officials have repeatedly denied the claims.
