I hear you, but without social media, we are left with mainstream media, which had been downplaying the threats, and both-sidsing the issues. I found HCR, Jay Kuo, Joyce Vance and others on social media. It's a two-sided coin--back in the day, we all had one news source (like Walter Cronkite), and we all believed what we were told, because that was pretty much all we had access to. That's kind of the problem now--lots of older folks watch and trust Fox News, because they assume it's a regular news channel, like the ones they had when they were younger. Misinformation is here to stay, whether it's in social media on on TV. It's our job to discern facts from propaganda. It's not easy!

Bullseye!
"Lots of older folks" listen to 2 minutes of Fox Entertainment and say: "WTF??" The disability goes deeper than age, imho.
