Facebook Trending Topics Duped Firing Human Editors
Just three days after Facebook made headlines by dismissing the editors of its Trending Topics section, the feature made an easily avoidable mistake.A story with a specious headline that Megyn Kelly had been ousted from Fox News as a secret supporter of Hillary Clinton began trending on the site.It was a bizarre claim, as even though her issues with Donald Trump are well-known , her main issues seem to be with other Fox News on-air talent.The post referenced, from a site called Conservative 101 , takes a real Vanity Fair report about the divided newsroom and injects it with a wildly inappropriate dose of speculation.
