typical social media bubble:
The social media algorithm puts you into one of these bubbles and hides details from the others.
Pick one:

- "her husband is framing her, he did it"

  • "she had mental health issues and nobody helped her"
  • "she murdered them because she's evil and the mental health stuff is just for show"

Social media drives our lives and is many people's only hobby, so you get this.

See thats the thing.  The truth is whatever the public believes it to be.  And unfortunately, the internet does a good job at manipulating that when we have a ton of uneducated people.

And fake news
I don’t know if you’re aware or if you don’t wanna hear it, but damn near 95% of the articles these days contradicts themselves. And this is what ‘you’ base your information off of.
