it is interesting that web browser destinations like kiwifarms, 4chan, 8kun, LiveLeaks were always considered the un-wiped anus of the internet, when in fact Facebook has always been the biggest dirtiest open sewer of them all. Packed full of foreign hostile governments shooting out propaganda from a firehose into the minds of useful idiots.
I am sure the NSA, FBI and CIA area also running PsyOps there. Fun Fact - Facebook literally has 90% of all child trafficking / kiddie porn in the US hosted on there platform. I am way more skeptical of FB posts than I am of ones on 4ch /pol, and 90% of /pol posts are pure troll. Dude who screams Fake News thinks FB is a legit source of anything ... hahahahah
An estimated 80% or more of people in the US get their news from social media.
If you are a news agency, and you aren't on social media, then you aren't part of the "news".
Since Social Media pays content creators based on user interactions, the business model for "news" has become more about outrageous headlines than ever before. Anything to grab people's attention and lure them in.
This is part of what we have come to know as Fake News. Not only are we being misled into believing the things news agencies want us to click qualify as news, we are missing the real news they refuse to report on. Fake News also includes reports that involve zero effort to verify or investigate. They grab an article off the news wire services, slap an extreme headline on it, maybe include a judgmental editorial comment or two, and run with it -- just like our little parrot on here does with his Google "research".
If this continues to be the state of our press, this country is doomed.
