Mark Zuckerberg's update on fake news

The rational point of view on all this is to ignore any and all news from social media outlets like facebook. Get your news from places that do not have a vested interest in keeping you glued to the screen for as long as possible.

In a very real sense facebook does not exist without clickbait so facebook's core value system will never be aligned with spreading actual news. It is the same reason network news is no longer news. Real news does not keep viewers glued to the screen so the network channels have evolved into their current form to optimize advertising revenue and ratings.

Wow. This just reminded me of Joeseph Goebbels.

"If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself."

Why does 'Zuck' continue to lie? Has he started believing it himself? Several independent organization and scribes have proven that as much as 35% of links and stories on Facebook are fabricated, click-baity and outright FALSE stories. 1 even as recently as yesterday.

How about teaching people how to fact check for themselves? Seek primary sources, running through the scientific method, and absorbing info without any confirmation bias. Teach people how to think for themselves. This seems like the opposite of that.
