Do you check Facebook for news?

FB was my main source of the news. Not really worth scrolling through cat videos, silly memes and anti everything anymore

No. I'm not on FB enough to rely on it for news.

FB has really stuffed itself, tho. There's so many ways to access news we just go elsewhere.

I may see a headline, but will check other sources before believing pretty much anything on fb as it’s mostly sensationalised or false.

Yes. I follow the news pages. Now I get my news from the quick headlines on the radio at 3. I’m not going out of my way to be depressed

No but I do follow some news sites. FB isn’t my go-to news source though.
