Apparently it&#x27;s not coming from a single curator. The manipulation of the trending section was much wider spread than that:<p>&quot;Several former Facebook “news curators,” as they were known internally, also told Gizmodo that they were instructed to artificially “inject” selected stories into the trending news module, even if they weren’t popular enough to warrant inclusion—or in some cases weren’t trending at all. The former curators, all of whom worked as contractors, also said they were directed not to include news about Facebook itself in the trending module.&quot;<p>The article then mentions a second curator that also admits anti-conservative bias:<p>&quot;Another former curator agreed that the operation had an aversion to right-wing news sources. &#x27;It was absolutely bias. We were doing it subjectively. It just depends on who the curator is and what time of day it is,&#x27; said the former curator.&quot;
