isnt the point of hiring a "curator" to have people select and omit stories based on newsworthiness vs being nonstories?

- lazzlazzlazz 11y agoI would assume this is why they hired people with journalistic backgrounds, but it looks like they should have had some more sophisticated consensus-seeking and quality control mechanisms in place.
- basch 11y agoi still dont see any report of an actual story being suppressed. hiding Romney ate honey nut cheerios is very different from hiding Romney donates his breakfast to starving children. The former isnt news, the latter type of suppression would be to purposely create a void of positive Romney stories. that said, facebook's trending stories are a pile of nonnewsshit anyway, most of them should never be brought to peoples attention by choice.
