A majority of Americans get their news from social media.  That's not such a bad thing if you understand what you are getting and you check the sources--if there are any sources.  In the State of Wyoming there are a lot of pundits and columnists who post things that appear to be news but really aren't.

A perfect example of this showed up for the weekend.  Nearly every piece of the post was provably false and yet it appeared to be genuine.  Of course, it's from a well-known source who happens to have a column on the Cow Pie.
