Facebook announced today it now has a dedicated space just for news, and it's receiving mixed reactions. How do you feel about it? Will you use Facebook's Newsroom to catch up on current affairs?

If you feed us with Breitbart news, I’ll be leaving Facebook. It was fun while it lasted (without the conspiracy theories).

Facebook is itself useless. The News feature might just confirm it.

Editorial independence? That actually means “slave to radical left ideology.”

I understand where FB wins, their algorithm is the gate keeper - they’ll gather marketing data on clicks, what you read, how long - build profiles,package and sell.
How do the publishers and newsfeeds win?
Surely, they are just reduced to content generators for FB. Researched fact journalism will sit side-by-side with opinion/commentary/propaganda - just look at realclearpolitics to see how that’ll work out.
I use Feedly and read a broad range.

No, thank you! There are better unedited and unbiased news apps/websites. If they have curators, they should try using their skills to weed out false information (fact-check) in political campaigns and ads on Facebook.
