Good point.

Also what goes along with that point is actual fake news stories that spread on social media...where very over-the-top, made up stories are shared and actually taken as fact by the reader without any type of research or thought for that matter. 60 minutes found that this is a phenomena on both sides, right and left...research showed this. Social media has been quite devastating to the mind, much more dumb and unable to think for yourself. I also think people have a serious problem too with any type of conflict or disagreement. Its easier for people just to "log off" a conversation they don't agree with.
