Channel 4 news saying facebook is a danger to democracy ..Is it?

I believe our normal TV media stations are more of a danger to democracy than facebook..
They spread PROPAGANDA tv stations ..

My vote goes by the way my area is acting ..Acting all nice like no shootings then good leaders
Loads of shootings and poverty then not even facebook or the media will change my mind..

I votes to avoid news from Tv broadcast, the news content about politic and economy are filled with manipulation and propaganda.
Even though Facebook are not best place for news sources, but i think it is more democracy rather than Television news source, because in Facebook many community can show up their opinion and critics about politician and how black business impact so far.

Of course, Facebook affects how I vote. I do not see much difference between Facebook and TV. Both are the mass media. And by definition - the means of manipulation, too. I watch TV very rarely. More often I learn news from social networks. But I do not trust information about politicians 100% ever. It is obvious that PR-services of any politician know exactly how to manipulate your opinion about them. And they do it all the time. Facebook is just a tool.
But Facebook gives a lot of different opinions and sources of information. You can check the information several times.

This does not guarantee that my vote in the elections is absolutely conscious, but I am calm, because I did everything I could.
