Facebook isn't the only platform that helps to spread misinformation and hate
Right- wing radio has been misinforming and spreading hate for years. It's only natural that it would end up on facebook too.

But, if we are going to point out how the internet spreads division, I think we should add right-wing radio in there too. We used to have the Fairness Doctrine. I think we should bring it back when it comes to broadcast material. At least that way radio wouldn't be all one sided.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
