I’m glad that I don’t get my news from Google, MSN.com, or Facebook because ALL of them are heavily slanting the coverage of what they purport to be “trending” news items.
Even Bing is bad in this regard (news tips at the bottom of the page).
And Facebook is selling their political “insight” to ABC and other networks and it was announced that the “trends” would be used to cast the debate questions and news coverage.
it’s a Stalinist/Orwellian nightmare.
I stopped watching television in 2008 because it had gotten so bad now even the search engines and friend networking sites have gotten into this racket. Not the results or posts as much as what is pushed on the users by the site operators themselves. It is partisan propaganda to push an agenda.
