Well, humans are many times fooled by fake or biased news. Some can be caught by simple verification or confrontation with other sources. Some require a deep research or specialized knowledge.

It's not easy to train an algorithm to outperform humans when complex context is required.

If they change the algorithm to filter out fake or biased news, they might alienate their user base.
