It came up a lot on my newsfeed, including the post by Mark Zuckerberg about it which went viral https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10104712037900071

Is your friend into tech news a lot? If not maybe that's why it wasn't shown. The only people I know who care about this story are tech people.

That is the whole issue, using one source for news when knowing any source has a percent of bias. Only way around the issue to keep an open mind and actually view new sources that you might or might not like to get a whole picture.

Don't like CNN nor FOX but still skim them for news, articles not TV nor videos.
