FACEBOOK. Former employees say the social network regularly suppressed conservative news: “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.”
BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE. Eric Fanning jokes about his stalled confirmation as first openly gay Secretary of the Army while at an LGBT military gala: “Fanning asked Edith Windsor, the New York widow who successfully challenged the Defense of Marriage Act before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013, to become his “confirmation campaign manager” after he took the stage at the Hyatt Regency Washington.”
