Re: Swedish Police Officer: 'Muslim Countries Provide Most Criminals in Sweden' [W:89
The mention of Facebook by you is to
address its function as the most wide spread and thus most easily available opportunity for people unable to deal with conventional media that doesn't support their crackpot views, to go attention whoring with their opinion and getting it seen by the conceivably highest number of people imagineable.
Where, in the days before FB, they fell into the same category of insignificance that they nevertheless deserve to this day and would still "enjoy" but for the fact that they cannot be kicked as easily as they could hitherto be kicked out of the local pub.
Where FB no doubt has its merits (keeping in touch with family, friends, etc.) thru no particular fault of its own it has quickly degenerated into a gathering ground for narcissistic twits that mistake the likes given as a confirmation of own intelligence on most of the opinionated crap spouted, at the same time being usually too stupid to realize that the "likers" are as stupid as they are.
In the process cementing the opinion bubble (read echo chamber) that leads to the exacerbation of overall ignorance, let alone divorce from reality, that we constantly get to see.
That's not even addressing its function, worrisome to its management as it may be, of serving as the chief platform nowadays for slander, mobbing and general bullying. Creating fake news having already been addressed.
In this FB is far more suited for mindless idiots than any opinion-regurgitating blog can ever be but it is nevertheless revealing that the source you cite here uses it as well and for exactly the purposes outlined above.
As to your claim that no other outlet would have published Springare's rant, that's probably true on account of reputable media demanding hard facts to be provided with any story submitted.
A conundrum that you, of all people, are not only no doubt familiar with but face with virtually every post or thread you make on here.
