I guess I don't understand how at least the anti-drone eagles can be considered "fake news."
Can someone explain to me what I'm missing here? What is the "expected weight loss," and what are the expected "metabolic improvements associated with diet drinks"? As far as I'm concerned, one should expect neither metabolic improvements nor weight loss simply from consuming diet soda.

All the washing of things you have to use in intermediate steps really adds up. And unless you eat chicken breast for every non-breakfast meal, 10 cooked chicken breasts will get gross in the fridge pretty quickly, so you'll probably want to do something like 3 breasts at a time if you're only eating one meal with chicken breasts per day. This means doing meal prep twice in the week, as opposed to once. If you don't refrigerate them, then you have to wait for the breasts to thaw, which is time I don't want to spend every day, multiple times a day potentially.
I have a busy schedule, and every hour counts some weeks, so the time saved after buying canned chicken breast really adds up.
It's not nearly as gross as you think, and it saves so much time!

For what it's worth, I don't think undergraduate CS degrees develop students' writing abilities at all. There are only a few proof-based courses I can think of, and those courses (e.g., Theory of Computation, Algorithms) need not necessarily be taught in a mathematically rigorous manner (which is to say, proof writing in these courses may be minimal, depending on the instructor).

Edit: grammar!
I would argue that my Math degree made me a "better" writer than my Philosophy degree did. Writing quality in philosophy is generally much poorer than other disciplines; you pretty much have to use passive voice everywhere, which is the first thing your college writing lab will tell you not to do.
On the other hand, in my Math classes, I had to turn in 5-10 pages of proofs every week/every other day for problem set work. It was this work that taught me how to write clearly and parsimoniously, much more so than my Philosophy courses.
Of course, YMMV.
I mean, I sometimes hear from their foreign correspondents on NPR or podcasts I'm interested in. They do have some great journalists on staff.
Occam's Razor might suggest people are voting for Clinton and Trump due to name recognition and previous primary results.
My higher-level math courses were pure mathematics courses, and we pretty much always used Springer textbooks, which were only a few hundred pages long and the size of a normal paperback (i.e., not the size of, say, CLRS). When we didn't use Springer textbooks, we used other textbooks similar in size and length (e.g., [0]). I found these textbooks to be completely manageable to read as a student, and they were the best textbook-related learning experiences of my undergraduate years.
