Let&#x27;s actually examine the claims:<p><i>Among the deep-sixed or suppressed topics on the list: former IRS official Lois Lerner, who was accused by Republicans of inappropriately scrutinizing conservative groups; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker; popular conservative news aggregator the Drudge Report; Chris Kyle, the former Navy SEAL who was murdered in 2013; and former Fox News contributor Steven Crowder.</i><p>What scandals were being discussed yet suppressed from the &quot;trending news&quot; list out of these examples? How many of these examples are actual news stories? The IRS thing turned out to be overblown bullshit, what about the rest of them?<p>When was the last time you heard your friends talking about Scott Walker, the guy who flopped in the polls and dropped out of the race <i>before a single primary</i>?<p>It shouldn&#x27;t be surprising if these curators decided to wait to see if a story being shared from breitbart.com was reported by bigger news outlets first. Many of these so-called conservative media outlets have a terrible record on reporting actual news.<p>It is possible that Facebook suppresses actual news. It is also possible that this source (falsely) believed that not-really-news-or-trending stories were &quot;suppressed&quot; when in fact they were just not popular or smelt like bullshit.
