So 40% of you get your news from Facebook? Why?

[OddBeMe]

I doubt I’d trust anything anyone told me on FB

It’s easier

I don’t

I don’t trust accredited news agencies

I’m glad everyone here isn’t but stats don’t lie. At least 4 out of 10 of you fcks use Facebook for news! :)

There's no news anymore. Just copy pasted bullshit that some thinktanks or propaganda offices spread. Nobody pays for news. No journalist can survive delivering quality reportages. Nobody checks sources. Nobody questions the men behind the scenes anymore.

I get most of my news from PBS and NPR

[888theGreat]

Well you don't really know whats going on then

[Citizenkirk]

@888theGreat I disagree

[OddBeMe]

If true, Kirk gets his news from the most centered, unbiased sources.

[loveslongnails]

@888theGreat He gets more real information from those sources than you do from Fox, OAN and Newsmax. LOL That explains why your mind is so screwed up.

I do not use facebook. I only use facebook to find my friends.

[NopeWhatTime]

All social media platforms are horrible places to get news.

[OddBeMe]

True. I do follow journalists on twitter and find tht to be a good source. Though I still corroborate.

Getting your news from Facebook is like getting your news by making it up yourself one day writing it down in the next day making use of as if it were credible. Facebook is nothing more than a giant Echo chamber.

[OddBeMe]

That’s exactly what Cheney did to sell the Iraq war.

[msc545]

Yes.

[molonski2]

Massive markdown for Facebook yesterday with far more to come , not a place to get news from..

[OddBeMe]

Nor 401k investment :)

[molonski2]

Massive facebook meltdown Meta - Zucc looses billions on paper 1/4 of value plus

It's better than getting news from Tiktok 'scientists'

[OddBeMe]

TikTok has scientists?

[Kabluie]

yes, high school dropout scientists

[goaded]

There's at least one person on here who trusts reddit for foreign news.

I don't get anything from facebook.

[Juxtapose]

Well I would sooner trust Facebook randoms then a Cable News Network for whatever that is worth. I don't use Facebook by the way.

[OddBeMe]

Yes…but you can’t place cnn at the same level as Facebook trolls. Come on. Even Fox News gets it right more often than Facebook.

[Juxtapose]

Maybe it depends on if you hang around the flat Earth facebookers and stuff like that xD

I would still say an average person I pull from the I
Internet is more trustworthy than cable news networks, right or left leaning.

[UdontNeedtoknow]

fake book sucks. I never use it.

[888theGreat]

I don't. its basically CNN.

[Kyle-Jackson78]

i watch fox news

[OddBeMe]

Dear god…that’s marginally better.

[exitseven]

It explains a lot.
