Having code bloat doesn't mean that a process is broken, it comes down to what you are optimizing for. Facebook optimizes for getting new code into production fast. I don't know if @ktRolster stopped reading right after the line h

Whether a story trends isn't contingent on it being placed on the front page of major news sites. Most people don't get their news that way. A story is more likely to trend because someone notable talked about it or linked to it.

Facebook isn't being accused of pushing an agenda. The accusations are against a few of their hired contractors.
