A BBC report ( admits what many of us believed; that most people get their information from 'Social Networks', not official news depots. This means anyone can broadcast anything and the morons will believe it. This isn't ancient days when people were difficult to convince, this is now, where IQs have plunged so that Forest Gump is average. People believe everything they see online. Incapable of doing actual research, having very little knowledge, they accept and repeat without pause. This makes them wonderful sheep for politicians, and purchasers of inferior even dangerous items from businesses.

That’s sad. I’ve never, not once, gotten my news from social media.
