Not trying to take away from your extension, which I&#x27;m sure is very useful for people who are interested in that kind of thing.  I just find it a bit interesting that the article seemed (from my point of view) to imply that the problem with the Facebook trending news headlines is that it is exactly the same as the news headlines from traditional news outlets: it is curated content that is consciously or unconsciously organized to appeal to a particular mindset.<p>My take-away from the article (which I admit was also my pre-existing bias, so perhaps <i>I</i> injected it) is that the news is essentially a propaganda machine.  It reflects the conscious and unconscious biases of the curators and attempts to present a consistent world view.  The sad part is how unaware the readership is.  From one of the quotes the the author included, people become more extreme in their views when surrounded by others who have the same views.  This leads to polarization on every topic -- an us vs. them attitude.  With such an attitude no substantial changes can happen.  For example, if Trump wins the nomination, how many liberal thinking people would vote for an independent, risking splitting the vote and handing the country to Trump?  If Clinton wins the nomination, how many conservative thinking people will allow the Clinton dynasty (the <i>spouse</i> of a former president!) to win the day?<p>In the end the status quo prevails.  So it just seems a bit ironic that your extension, which allows you to dial in your bias even further, is mentioned here.  Possibly (if you don&#x27;t already have it) you can add an option to turn off the trending news headlines altogether :-)
