OTOH, if you spend sufficient effort to curate your lists, you can enjoy a BETTER news feed than from major media, who even if they aren't straight-up biased, are full of their own constraints to fill airtime, not offend sponsors, etc.
It takes work to filter out the noise, (& there's plenty of noise to avoid!), but one can select the actual scientists diong the research, who will link to their key findings & papers, answer questions, etc., or direct to current & former officials, key industry/govt players, the journalists themselves and get their comments directly, without the scaled editorial slant. (private lists, to avoid the algorithmic feed is the key; I don't think it is possible on FB)
