Most of the complaints around the "Facebook says my friends liked X and they didn't" in the news feed are because they didn't like it at that particular point in time - they liked it at some stage in the past.

The newsfeed algorithm surfaces the stories it thinks you will find most relevant from the friends you interact with the most, rather than presenting the stream real-time.
