I think it is important to be unbiased but I think that Facebook and Twitter were harmful to discourse this election and they probably could do much better while staying similarly unbiased. Also I think part of the problem is that many people view Trump as a crazy person which (he was a major proponent of the idea that Obama was born in Kenya, he thinks that vaccines cause autism, and he once tweeted that global warming was a hoax perpetrated by the chinese), so honestly I think it would be weird if Twitter and Facebook didn't contemplate their role in all of this.
