One of my best friends get most of his news from Facebook. He told me how outrageous it was that Hillary was running a child prostitution ring, Bernie was bought off by Hillary with a new lake house and a new red sport car, and that the pope had endorsed Donald for prez.

Appearances are simplistic. Reality is complex.
