mark zuckerberg originally told us this.t fake the idea news on facebook, of which it is a very small amount of the , influenced the election in any way, i think is a crazy idea. but after a lot of backlash, zuckerberg seems to have ever so slightly changed his tone. in his latest post he wrote, "we believe in taking this seriously and giving people a voice. we do not want to be arbiters of truth ourselves." that would bew the interview of the year potentially? of the slightke change in tone, yet still maintaining that fake news was a relatively small percentage of news on facebook? david: i think it is a change in tone and not opinion. he would still say, i don't think he would use the words again, but it is a crazy idea becauseald trump won of face news on -- fake news on facebook. that because of pushback from the president and "the new york times" and other places, they are taking this very seriously at facebook and know they have to make changes. what i found impressive, given the pace that things are going, that zucker

in your opinion, should mark zuckerberg have seen this coming? >> maybe not mark zuckerberg per se, but leaders within the company should have been paying more attention to what was, you know, showing up in people's news feeds for sure. >> reporter: schrader's job was to help make sure inaccurate news doesn't trend on facebook. criticism earlier this year that facebook's information gate keepers were suppressing conservative viewpoints. he said his division could have helped minimize the amount of fake news. >> by stopping fake news, you're liking to stop fake news from spreading further. and i think one of the biggest principles of journalism is making sure people have truthful, accurate and fair >> i asked schrader how much personal responsibility we as facebook users should bear in making sure the news feed is accurate. he told me it's unrealistic for everyone to fact check all of the news on their feeds so he said it's up to the distributor, in this case, facebook to step in. >> i've seen a lot of fake news on facebook. not just political stu
