You're preaching to the choir about Facebook. It seemed like everyone regardless of party preference had an opinion. What was the most frustrating thing was people my age who never voted all of a sudden became political and posted tons of stories, opinions, etc. Where was this energy in previous elections? It's like a bandwagon in sports, no opinion one day, and the next apparently they became hardcore fans. I think some were doing it just go along with the wave. Just like you and a couple of friends who I know follow the stuff, I kept my mouth shut let them throw out whatever nonsense they needed to get off their chest and that was that. I also made use of the feature to hide posts.
I agree that media is leaning, that's why I like local news (thank you small town.) The majority of their stuff is news around the area, and like I wrote in replying to Asreal, I like Twitter because people are voicing their opinions. You might not agree with those opinions but I want to see what other people think.
