@SW-User has social media really made our youth so brainless that they don't realize the fact that they don't use dictionaries or encyclopedias anymore ? and it is easier to use google search ?

@ChatterinSeuss Pretty much so. It's sad how uninformed people are now.

In the UK the 'newspapers' are very politically biased, at the moment, right wing 'news' papers influence political decisions in elections. Editors tell more lies than politicians, and, sadly, too many people believe the shit they publish.

So sad. My dad worked at a newspaper until just a few years ago. I remember seeing the newsroom when I was little and it was bustling. No longer. :(
