Considering that, in the Firefox article, this links to an article [1] by The New York Times lamenting with no self-awareness whatsoever that Facebook reversed its temporary signal-boosting of The New York Times... I'm really not comfortable with how "factual" is being defined.

I just don't want them to stop at "We should all listen to what the mainstream center-left media says".
