We knew from her tweets that the New York Times’ Sarah Jeong had it in for “dumbass f**king white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants,” but she also seems to have a problem with conservatives who think the media is liberally biased.
Jeong writes about technology, and today she’s tweeting about the removal of human judgment from the selection of Facebook’s trending topics, allowing the platform to turn into an informational dystopia:
The original story had a conservative source complaining about humans using editorial judgment to pick "liberal media" over, say, Breitbart. Liberal media being defined as, uh, almost every major news outlet

The result was the removal of human judgment calls from what kind of news people saw on Facebook, and the informational dystopia we live today

The never-ending conservative tantrum over "bias" on platforms is a paranoid fantasy birthed by right-pandering clickbait that has justified the withholding of factual findings on Russian misinformation campaigns

This is exactly the sort of thing that should be on the NYT op-ed pages and I can't believe they cut her loose https://t.co/gn2NArfXVk

Narrator: The New York Times did not cut her loose. She did take a break from Twitter, though.
Nice to have you back.

No, actually, it is not. But you go ahead and keep believing that if it makes you happy.
