Facebook swaps news feeds for conservatives and liberals

I hope they are serious about banning fake news clickbait. I have my doubts this will happen, It seems like facebook would want to cultivate relationships with those clickbait companies so they can sell them all their valuable user personal data later, and just give lip service to how horrible they are in the press.

The fake news thing is a bit more far-reaching than that. Policing the internet for it is not Facebooks responsibility so I'm surprised they said anything at all.
The takeaway here is that the average user is so busy (or so stupid) that they would share articles based on the title, rather than the content. Those article mills make a decent chunk too, if they have ads, malware, and the views needed to profit off of.

>banning fake news clickbait.
By "fake news" you know damn well they only mean "THEIR fake news not OUR fake news"

I don't have a Facebook account.

They called Breitbart in bullshit

Says the hard-hitting journalism of Buzzfeed.

Better they get it from facebook than FAUX news!

It's never going to happen because people like fake news.

The majority of people don't give a shit about whether or not something is accurate.

Great. More fuel to hate one another because of the great political spook.

Breitbart is utter and complete shit, but so is buzzfeed. However, the differences lie in what both sites are trying to be. Both are trying to be something they aren't ad will never be: an actual news site with actual journalists.

Really though, comparing Breitbart to Buzzfeed is an apples and oranges comparison. Breitbart is more like the conservative version of The Huffington Post. Buzzfeed is more like a liberal version of hotair.com with their top 10 lists and tabloid celebrity commentary. The two clickbait dynasties rarely compete with one another because they're both servicing their respective two sides of the same confirmation biased circlejerk.
