Lawyers, journalists (or in general humanities student) tend to be liberal in my opinion. You can employ them and expect them to be neutral. Self employed people, farmers etc. tend to be more conservative generally. You cant employ journalists and expect them to be neutral. I had always seen facebook's Trending section as "The Politically Liberal Outrage" section right from the start. I thought it was "intended to be liberal outrage" to begin with.
Algorithmic trending based on what is popular with human filters to weed out only NSFW stuff appears to be the way to go forward.
I cant blame facebook. We live in a world where if a company's experimental AI classified black people as monkeys we somehow think that is racist and make the company stop those AI efforts.
In reality a truly neutral platform would trend what is really trending, if it is racist slur so be it because then the media is truly holding mirror to the society. That is how we might get better. Else everything becomes one large safe space which is death of intellectual speech.
