Biased News
I just recently finished reading on room for debate about how Facebook is either ruining or saving journalism with their page that is dedicated to give out the trending topics. People have went crazy after hearing the news about how Facebook hires editors to control which news they post that is trending for the day. People are claiming everything is biased and now massive amounts of the users who read the daily news were fed biased news reports that Facebook wanted them to read. I think all these people are either not that intelligent or they are just oblivious to our world because everything about news is biased. They should be used to it. I mean all the news we feed to the citizens in America are always biased for us, while other countries it is vice versa. I just didn't think it was necessarily to blow up Facebook because of what they did, all the users reading the news should know every platform releases news that are biased in favor of them. If people really wanted to fix this problem, then they would've known to read news reports from different sources to gain all perspectives about the news from both sides. This way they won't go claiming they are fed only one biased side of the news report. What are your views about the news reported in the world today?

People had a good reason to be mad at Facebook. Facebook claimed that it did not tamper with it's trending page when in reality they did. When conservative news was supposed to be trending, Facebook replaced it with liberal news. What made most people angry is that Facebook lied to users saying that they did not tamper with the trending page. Facebook has every right to tamper with their trending page, but if they say they don't and they do, users will get angry.
