tl;dr: Journalist at left-wing newspaper writes article saying that machines can't possibly replace news workers. Evidence is three anecdotes, muddied by possible confusion over the goals. The name "Trending" suggests it's meant to highlight stories that are trending upwards in popularity. It seems the Guardian may have confused this with "highlight stories that are meant to appeal to people like Guardian readers". Anyway, what are they arguing, really? Machines can't select news stories? Google News proves that they can.
