The bigger issue is, many of these same folks are not gonna stop buying into "echo chamber" news and gossip just because FB stops publishing it. Sad as it is, this is what Fox News is to a super lesser extent. This is what shooting the sh-t at the bar with your buddies is. We don't need less fake news. We need a more educated and engaged public. Now that we have a president-elect that campaigned on gutting public funding, including Dept. of Education, well, we'll see how that goes. |

However, the issue here is that pretty much every news outlet straight up shilled for a candidate. CNN, MSNBC, NYT, HuffPo, ABC, CBS for Clinton and Fox News for Trump.
How is a non-computer savvy person (your parents, aunts and uncles) that doesn't know how to research things online supposed to form an independent opinion if these news organizations are their only window into the world?
