When you see a political post do you tend to interact with it? Do you interact more with personal uplifting stories? Your feed tends to contain the sort of things you interact with to the exclusion of the sort of things you don't.

You are probably in a Facebook bubble without even realising it...

No. I dont do anything on facebook at all, i just happen to scroll through my feed every other week when i just went online to contact one of the few people that i cant reach otherwise.

I really see where you are going, and i see that we all are in our personal Facebook bubble. But my point stands that Facebook simply does not have the same relevance at here that it seems to have in the U.S. People here read news, many even young, read actual newspapers. There is not so much place for facebook in a system that already works.

And before someone asks, yes our newspapers are heavily favoring too. But thats not the point.

Well there you go again: at last count 1.26 billion people check Facebook daily, and they're not all American. The figures in German speaking countries are huge too, your personal usage is simply not very representative of most people's.
