Facebook Political Bias, 78th Dad Vail Regatta, McDonald's Fresh Beef Test

Facebook has been under fire this week over claims that some of its news curators prevented conservative outlets from showing up in its "Trending Topics" section. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg say his company is investigating a report accusing it of a liberal news bias, but has so far found "no evidence" that it's true. Zuckerberg says he plans to invite leading conservatives and people from across the political spectrum to discuss their points of view in the coming weeks.

The Dad Vail Regatta is underway along the Schuylkill River once again. It’s been a Philadelphia tradition since 1953. Pitt, West Point, Purdue, Georgia Tech, 100 college crew teams have converged on the Schuylkill River for the 78th Dad Vail Regatta. The two-day competition also means that Kelly Drive is closed to cars, between Fountain Green and Strawberry Mansion.

McDonald’s is cooking up hamburgers with fresh beef in a few test locations in Texas, in a departure from the frozen patties it normally uses. McDonald’s is conducting a “limited test” with burgers made out of fresh beef at 14 restaurants in Dallas. In the test, the fresh beef is only used on the quarter pounder, including the quarter pounder with cheese, the double quarter pounder with cheese, the bacon clubhouse and the homestyle burger, a regional product that is only available in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The test has been going on since November, without any advertising. McDonald’s typically serves hamburger patties that have been “flash frozen.” They say it’s too early to tell whether fresh beef will become a permanent ingredient in the McDonald’s menu, or if it will expand to other restaurants.
