Facebook has released a list of the most popular US political news stories among its users over the past year. It's a pretty depressing read if you're idealistic like me, and wish that more people would listen to the other side more often because we're all a bunch of dumb humans, anyway. Bu yeah, the story topics, which were led by Occupy Wall Street and Osama Bin Laden's death, often took purposefully sensationalistic angles that catered to people with strong, preset opinions.It could still be that the 155 million US Facebook users out there were having meaningful, reasonable conversations about the articles on their walls and news feeds. Let us hope.
