There are sites for that. But for me, FB is about what friends and family are up to, recipes, cute kid and pet videos/photos, and interesting upcoming events. I do not look on it as a source of news and am generally amused when people get irate over obviously contrived news items.

I caught my liberal nephew falling for a fake DT quote from 1990, where is is purported to have said that if he were to run for President, he would run as a Republican because they are such idiots they would take anyone.

Fake quote.

And then his dad, my older brother, fell for the outrage over the White House supposedly being lit up in purple to commemorate Prince’s death.

Also fake news.

Fair enough. I’ve had FB since 2005 so I use it for everything now.

Although to my credit, I did stay the fuck off FB for 7 months after the Charlie Hebdo attack happened.
