About this episode
What's worse: potentially biased humans controlling the news you see or a "neutral" algorithm? Accusations that Facebook's Trending Topics feature isn't purely data-driven have highlighted the platform's power. Plus: Margaret Sullivan, the former public editor of The New York Times , is on her way to the Washington Post . How much did she change at the paper of the record? Also: Bob's take on how the political press is normalizing the presumptive GOP nominee; and a new documentary looks at Anthony Weiner's failed run for mayor.
