Yes, exactly my first thought. Too many people get their news from FB headlines.

There was a user here who said something about people reading an obviously unresearched news article in a newspaper, knowing it is saying bullcrap BUT kept reading other pieces from that paper. Because one bad article doesn't make the whole newspaper worthless.

Find yourself a couple of newspapers and read them. Scan the front page. Get a wholer picture of the news. It's sad really printed newspapers have vanished so extensively.

Meanwhile on FB, people read a headline and that's it.

That isn't exclusive to FB. It's everywhere, reddit, twitter, hackernews. People have low attention spans and its getting lower and lower when you watch hundreds of 30s videos these days.
