Social media and politics have become inseparable over the years. Any news that comes out is at the touch of a button in seconds. Social media such as Facebook and Twitter play the role of a public forum where people can chat and comment on their political views and ideas. People still watch the news every night, but social media has become superior when it comes to news. You’re able to go back and see what politicians have posted and not worry about having to wait for the news to say it once more. Politicians can speak directly to the people, rather than hearsay from news correspondents.
