I see two primary issues with depending on “social” media for news.
One is the number of persons who make/fake stuff up.
The other is persons who are willing to believe stuff simply because they believe in all the news that fits–their preconceptions, that is.
I have many secondary issues, but methinks those are the primary ones.
Afterthought:
Of course, this leads to (not, for heaven’s sake, “begs”) the question, who’s more culpable, the person who sets the trap or the sucker who falls into it? Given that it’s become obvious that “social” media, is–er–not necessarily a reliable source of information, I vote for the latter.
The person who puts out fake is vile and craven, true, but the person who falls for it at a glance is worse.
That person is stupid.
