If the results can't be trusted, don't use Google or (especially) Facebook as your news sources. As understand it, Google will aggregate its news - it hasn't got someone picking the articles. Stick with an established news source - i'll pick the BBC because I live in the UK.
For all the 'power' these smart phones have given us, it fills me with confusion, pity and annoyance when I walk in to someone's house only to see all the inhabitants looking down at their phones. Occasionally, they'll be engaging on the same content/media, reacting digitally and sometimes (as it's usually humorous) verbally. I've banned phones at the dinner table (mine only) and for a future vacation, will set out very clear 'acceptable usage' limits to my wife. I'd like to think I could give up mine but still a sucker for a good meme to lift me times are low.
For me there's too many eye brow raising parts to this story so i'm sceptical of its validity. Still, it prompts those 'did you hear about the x that done y and z hit the fan' stories.
