Well, it's not like the professional journalists don't lie at all for profit and self-preservation. Lol.

Facebook does a lot of disageeable things but making everyone a journalist isn't one of them. This just decentralised journalism and actually empowered freespeech. There are issues with it, but that's a better problem we can work on to mitigate than giving a few channels a monopoly over truth.

Facebook provides a medium where most people can disseminate their message, with little restriction or cost, to a potentially large audience. It doesn't make everybody a journalist.
