7 Times the Public Received Bad News Without Social Media

A few days ago, President Obama made what is probably one of his silliest remarks yet when he insinuated we’re only now realizing the world is a “messy” place because of the advent of social media.

Really? No one noticed the underbelly of humanity before Twitter? We beg to differ.

That time that jerk Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton.

 

Archduke Ferdinand gets capped and a little thing called “World War I” happens

 

Great Depression? I bet you don’t know what that is because it wasn’t on Facebook.

You may have heard of a country called “Germany” and how they tried to take over the world.

 

Japan got a little too prissy for their britches once too.

 

President Reagan was shot, but you probably never heard about that either.

 

 

This very sad thing happened in the 80s, too.

 

Thank goodness for social media, otherwise, we would never know what evil humanity has to offer. So thanks, Facebook and Twitter, we’d be ignorant without you.
