So people have no idea what is and isn't true. People just hear things. People react to what they hear without ever questioning its validity. That's a truth of humanity that is much more important now that the internet and modern journalism is a thing. Journalism largely doesn't care about truth or integrity now that the digital age is fully booted. It's just a business that weaves stories loosely based on real events and opinions. The people writing these stories have zero education on the subjects they are covering. A journalism degree involves weaving stories and at no point requires any proper understanding of the world or how it works. How does fake information spread? People reading and reacting to posts. You do that a lot, reader.
Journalism has not changed. In fact, there is more good journalism today than there has ever been in the history of the world. However, people do seem to have a difficult time distinguishing between fact based journalism and ad-driven cable news channels and media posts. There's just more noise and sensational headlines coming at people from all angles and sources these days. The good journalism never left us.
Don't really have time to do critical thinking also can be a factor. When you have huge amount of workloads or school tasks everyday, it's hard to have time to think critically on social media feeds.
