Can Facebook fix its News Feed problem?

from Too Embarrassed to Ask · host Recode

Recode's Senior Social Media Editor Kurt Wagner talks with Kara Swisher and Lauren Goode about how Facebook is trying to fix its "fake news" problem — by showing users less news and asking them to rank the credibility of media outlets. Wagner explains why digital publishers have been alarmed by the new proposals and why it's sometimes hard to believe Facebook when it insists that it's not a media company. He also shares tips for making the current News Feed work better for you and what the social media giant has said it will do to make political advertising more transparent during the 2018 U.S. midterm elections.
