Fully agree. Things like this tend to be better explained, as a rule, as side effects, without resorting to agency or conspiracies. That specific information, however is not new as of this article ("As the Guardian reported in leaked documents...." precedes the bit you quoted in TFA).
- MichaelGG 10y agoSo should FB admit there may be accidental bias, or double-down on the "everything's fine"? Seems one way they admit to lying and manipulating, and the other way continues to look dishonest. Probably should have immediately said they'd review it, then found that, uninstructed, some editors may have shown a "slight bias". And coincidentally it comes out coinciding with a US "conservative" candidate that's talking about rigged processes and unfair treatment.
