World Wide Falsehood

It is sad to see how people today are so easily influenced by a meme or post on social media. What ever happened to critical thinking? We are becoming a nation of gullible dummies. So many believe what is presented to them, and believing something at first glance; without investigating the source. Social media such as facebook, twitter, and Instagram are NOT sources of information: they are sources of ENTERTAINMENT! 

Example: A tweet that presents a woman that shaves her head bald for the BLM – completely fake and fabricated.
