Needed human editors. So for example without that, every day at noon, lunch would be trending. We needed human touch to get it right. And dinner around 5 00 or 6 00. Mr. Brooks every day, thats weird. [laughter] ms. Sandberg breakfast, lunch, dinner. We had an excontractor on the team you accuse us of having a liberal bias. That is a pretty important accusation and when we take seriously. It is also one that rang true to some people. Because there is concern that Silicon Valley has a liberal bias. We did not find a liberal bias but we still took steps to be more rigorous in our approach to running the editorial team, putting a stronger guidelines. There was a list we used to validate sites.
