Sounds like it's time for me to buy some shares in Nestle.

The Nestle story reminds me of the week (or other similarly short period) during which Unilever bought both Ben & Jerry's and Slim-fast.

You know, the fb article *says* they suppressed conservative news, and then they specifically mention Breitbart, and I don't want to be all "that's not actually a news site" but, well....

Also, there's a difference between deliberately suppressing conservative stories and trying to share stories from sites that are as free from political bias is possible.

Whether that's what they actually did is another matter, but I'd rather see stories from the least biased sites you can find as opposed to left or right leaning sites or ones with a very clear political agenda. Admittedly, bias-free news outlets aren't really a thing to be honest, and "bias free" tends to mean "left leaning" for some people so yeah, I guess it's awkward.

Yeah, I'd be interested in seeing if anybody who doesn't identify as conservative will corroborate this story as-is, or if they'll add some details.
