An Old Friend
I started following Discovery News on Facebook a few years ago. Back when I could tolerate the cable science and history channels. Last night while scanning the feeds I noticed that Discovery News has really gotten stupid. The featured feeds are slanted to a 5 year old's mentality and the subject matter is chosen to illicit "Likes" from a population of Facebook idiots. Their feed headlines are written in a way to illicit fear and anxiety or pet peoples egos.
Discovery News is to Science as SYFY is to Science Fiction.
The post that really set me off was "What if there was no Moon?"
I watched the video thinking it would be filled with scientific speculation and found it immature and incomplete.
Not sure how to link you to Facebook

With this enlightenment I looked at more of my newsfeeds on facebook.
My NASA related feeds are still intelligent but most of the feeds related to documentary shows are dumbed down and nonsense.
Sites that should be teaching and telling about REAL SCIENCE are now pandering to the generation that thinks the Simpsons and Family Guy are intelligent.
Insultingly Stupid!
/end rant
