Reports that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg traveled to Mar-a-Lago on Friday to meet with President-elect Donald Trump came as a surprise to one media analyst, who warned the move could set a dangerous precedent for the company.

“I’m shocked by this,” Axios senior media reporter Sara Fischer said during an appearance on CNN Friday night.

Zuckerberg is just one of a handful of tech CEOs who have heaped praise on Trump and made the journey to his Mar-a-Lago golf resort as the incoming president prepares to reemerge in the White House in a matter of days. The Meta CEO’s trip came the same day he appeared on Joe Rogan's show to lob bitter complaints at President Joe Biden's outgoing administration while delivering glowing remarks about Trump.

“I think Meta looks a little bit foolish,” Fischer said. “Because it's one thing to dip your toe in the water – a bunch of tech companies are going to Mar-a-Lago, a bunch of tech companies are donating to the inauguration – but Meta is taking a full swing right.”

Fischer explained that the danger in the rightward direction Meta is now heading in “is that they look like they're flip-flopping.”

“During the Biden administration, they said they’d adhere to political pressure and that they overregulated information on the platform because of political pressure,” Fischer said during her interview. “Now they're saying they're removing DEI platforms, they are completely changing their ideas around content moderation – shifting to the right – how do I not know that if a Democratic administration comes in, you're not going to sway the other way around?”

CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams said Meta was “fully within their legal rights” to retool their content moderation efforts but otherwise agreed with Fischer’s analysis.

“I think it's more reputational when they look like they're flip-flopping,” Williams, a former federal prosecutor, said. “It's an about-face on all of these issues.”

The draft is three weeks away now. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson have pieced together an off-season that is earning widespread praise across the league. The question is whether they can stick the landing with their 1st round pick in the draft. Current projections have the top three picks likely being a mix of Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter. After that, it gets tricky. People in Chicago want to know where running back Ashton Jeanty will end once the dust settles.

Widespread belief has been that the Las Vegas Raiders are the heavy favorites to take him at 6th overall, with New Orleans at #9 also being a possibility. It makes sense. Las Vegas’ best option right now is a 33-year-old Raheem Mostert. New Orleans knows Alvin Kamara turns 30 in July. Both teams need to think about the future at that position. Both have head coaches who like to run the ball. One thing is clear. A source told SM that those around the league believe one thing is certain.

“He likely won’t get passed Chicago if he falls that far.”

Ashton Jeanty is a strong probability for the Bears.

Whispers from Halas Hall indicate they love the Boise State star. It isn’t hard to see why. He nearly broke Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record in 2024, nearly winning the Heisman in the process. The guy carried his team to the college football playoffs. He’s built like a brick house with power, speed, contact balance, and vision. There aren’t any truly glaring weaknesses in his game. He’s earned comparisons to the likes of LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshawn Lynch. The Bears haven’t had a back of that caliber since Matt Forte.

Try to imagine what this offense could look like with Ashton Jeanty, Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Cole Kmet all as options for quarterback Caleb Williams. Throw all of it into Johnson’s offense, and you can understand why some people around the league aren’t wild about the idea. They are quietly hoping Jeanty goes somewhere else. One thing is certain. If he gets past the Raiders, the noise will get loud in a hurry. It would mark the first time in 20 years the Bears have taken a running back in the 1st round.
