1/27/2017 5 Comments Facebook- Friend or Foe? #1Facebook is, without a doubt, the most widely read and visible site on the Internet today. Every day millions of people rely upon the postings of Facebook as being both truthful, and accurate. Unlike the standards of journalism as we have traditionally known it, Facebook is not, and will not adhere to a standard of principles that would make it a source of credible news and information. Why? Rather simple actually, because Facebook is built upon a platform of the users, not a team of dedicated journalists who seek to quantify all news and information. This does not mean that the average person who accesses Facebook actually seeks to determine if the postings and or reports are substantiated. This can lead to a variety of social, political, and economic problems of which we are only beginning to understand.
