Facebook has fired its Trending News team, responsible for curating the social media network’s “Trending News” list, after Breitbart Tech began to reveal their progressive biases last month. The team is set to be replaced by a team of engineers managing an algorithm.
Facebook’s Trending News feature is supposed to present users with the most popular news topics being discussed across the platform. But a Gizmodo exposé in May revealed that Trending News operated much like a traditional newsroom, with a team of “curators” selecting stories they considered newsworthy.
It was later revealed that the team artificially injected stories that were not trending into the Trending News feed, and routinely suppressed topics that were of interest to conservatives. In response, Republican Senator John Thune, Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, sent a letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg demanding answers.
But the focus on Trending News masks an even bigger problem for Facebook: bias in its system of punishments and suspensions. While the social network is usually quick to reinstate accounts that have been wrongly suspended, its record of suspicious suspensions of high-profile conservatives and critics of progressivism is easily equal to Twitter’s.

Listen up, Blanche. Nothing says “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers” like a Facebook account.
“And, THIS TIME...don’t get caught!”
I swear FB is censoring all of my conservative news websites. They never show up in my feed like they used to. I have to manually check the site if I want to check them.
Zuckerberg is using his wealth from Facebook to fund illegal alien advocacy groups who are stealing our country from us.
Boycott Facebook
“There’s not much of a market out there in the private sector for people whose primary “skillset” is manipulating, concealing and twisting information. “
well... other than the Mainstream Media...
Great wealth destroys peoples’ brains. All the net- billionaires have become drooling synchophants to far-Left insanity.
you know ILLLARY had something to do with this
I bet that algorithm knows how to hack into voting machines as well.
I wouldn’t trust F_Book as far as I could throw them.
Actually, there is something you can do.
Read the history of Ralph Nader and General Motors and it will give you a few clues.
F_Book is an evil big corporation, hint, hint, hint. :-)
That trending team’s reports were used during the Republican debates.
Noticed that other sites called them ‘contractors’?
That is usually a dodge to avoid, 0bamacare, comp,SS...

Yes-—all algorithms manufactured to produce a certain outcome (determined by the Satanists)—just like the polls-—to make the sheeple “think” a certain way.
Being a “herd” animal, it is quite easy to get that total Hitler “love” result-—the sheeple hate to be thought of as “different” or apart from the majority (popular opinion—the satanic mainstream now is the majority).
That is the technique (rejection) that they use to destroy the young children in their group-think factories. They use psychological warfare-—on the minds of little 4 and 5 and 6 year olds which is embedded in the curricula/test “questions” (Common Core, NCLB, Goals 2000) and TV to program emotions and destroy integration of the brain-—ever since the Neo-Freudian, Neo-Marxist literature in 1955 took over the Classical curricula in all “schooling” factories to destroy the Christian Worldview and Wisdom of the Ages (and virtue formation) in children so they would be little slaves, socialists/Marxists/humanists/”Progressives” LOL-—which are really dumb regressive slaves for the State, who want to destroy civil society.
The embedding of dependency and stupidity and inability to think critically has been documented by many—like Charlotte Iserbyt, etc.....many people who have spent 60 years documenting this evil, psychopathic, satanic takeover of our institutions.
Every “Screen” is controlled-—and most by psychopaths (satanist sodomites) who want to destroy Christianity and force Satanism onto your children. Just look for it....it is IN YOUR FACE 24/7—at the Olympics, at the Superbowl, in Hollywood Boy-Sex rings raping all the children. Satanism being forced into our legal system since allowing the killing of babies into our “Justice” (LOL) System.....and now sodomy-—the two Rites of Ba’al Worship of the Lucifereans—along with cloning and chimeras that Michael Crichton wrote about in the book “Next” before he died suddenly like Tom Clancy. It is interesting watching Michael Crichton argue with the Satanist Charlie Rose when he is trying to tell old Charlie that Global Warming is a Hoax (State of Fear). Michael was on VERY dangerous grounds, esp. with his outrage at gene patents.
As Socrates knew, Ignorance is Vice and Vice creates Slaves only. The system (MSM/Schools) is created to compartmentalize the Mind of children-—to keep people ignorant and puerile for Life-—so they are devoid of Truth (God)/Reality/Real human interactions/associations (Just isolated in front of screens). They will remain irrational (dehumanized)—dupes for life.
Wake up, America. We need Truth to set you Free. You have to read to gain the truth-—get out of the Matrix—and read original source documents and the Great Books, and interact with real human beings—not be like skool children and be controlled 24/7 and programmed what to “think” (which is never thinking). You have to PRACTICE THINKING and find a place for reflection away from White Noise (distraction 24/7) so true integration of the brain will occur.
Oh my!!! /s
The algorhithm will be extremely liberal. So instead of people slanting the news, it will becan algorhithm. Nothing will change. Evil is evil.
Because they got caught. That’s it.
You might tell us WHO....
