    Facebook, Poor Grades, Media Sensationalism, and Academic Validation.

    The only thing that’s missing from that title is some reference to the Swine Flu and the NHL playoffs.

    But, SEO-friendly titles aside *ahem*, I just wanted to fire off a quick post about a group of people that decided to say and do something about a recent article that made it’s way into the limelight:

    This article was quite typical of those that most certainly got parents everywhere ready to voice their discontent at yet another evil demon of the internet.

    However, as reported on Apohenia, this was merely an example of the media grabbing a snippet of information and running with it in order to garner more readers/consumers. Not really a shock there, hm? Anyways, if interested, be sure to check out the article in the Apophenia post which provides data that contradicts the study that the media latched onto initially.

    Dunce
