> It seems more likely that Facebook, with its noted conservative lean[0],

Do you agree with the assertion that not censoring conservatives is the same thing as supporting the right? In my mind, those are two very different things. It used to be the case that most people believed in the statement, “I don’t agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

The article you posted asserts that because conservative posts are popular on Facebook, it must support conservatives. In spite of the fact that it also says FB took down 276 fake accounts that were promoting conservative positions. I didn't see any evidence of FB promoting conservative content, but more likely that conservatives tend to like promoting content through FB. Those are two different things.

This appears to be the conjecture you mentioned.

> who quoted from another Babylon Bee story without realizing it is a satire site[1].

Any evidence that President Trump didn't know it was satire? The dude loves to troll people. Also, the article doesn't try to make a conclusion to the affirmative. It says "Unclear".
