I think it is important to be unbiased but I think that Facebook and Twitter were harmful to discourse this election and they probably could do much better while staying similarly unbiased.

That's true I guess but I couldn't figure out a better word to describe how he is seemingly unable to separate truth from obvious fabrication.
