Facebook Exchange With Friend AS

AS: I see some things posted on Facebook that cannot be dignified with a comment of any kind. Pure political junk.

Alan: It is an inconvient truth that Facebook is, primarily (?), a platform for lying dimwits to "go viral." 

My tentative judgment is that "the uneducated" dominate the use of Facebook as a propaganda tool. 

It is perhaps appropriate to ask if American democracy can survive Facebook.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. 

Please don't shoot the messenger!
