He does not.
The problem is that no one, in the media or not, should use Facebook as a source of information without double checking that information with a reliable source. There is a lot of crazy and inaccurate information there.
And yet....Facebook is considered a major source of news for millennials.

A coalition of media outlets, associations, unions and journalism schools are banding together in a marketing campaign to spread the message that professional journalism just can’t be beat.
Pegged ‘JournalismIS’, the campaign is backed by Metroland Media Group and will feature newspaper, television and online advocacy ads touting the value of professional journalism.
“Our starting point for this, was a general worry that journalists weren’t doing enough to tell their own stories,” said campaign spokesperson Mary Agnes Welch at the launch Friday, June 12 at the Ryerson School of Journalism in Toronto.
The former president of the Canadian Association of Journalists and reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press said: “We’re not talking enough about the contribution we make nationally, but also on the local level to Canadian public life. We’re not talking about the value of an independent, reliable, ethical, impartial journalistic culture in Canada.”
Campaign sponsors include Metroland Media Group, The Toronto Star, Ryerson School of Journalism, Unifor, Canadian Association of Journalists, The Globe and Mail, Bell Media CTV, Postmedia, Communications Workers of America, Newspapers Canada, TC Media, Winnipeg Free Press, CARTT, Glacier Media Group,

And this looks like a regular news site logo...
...but it is the quintessential special interest website, created and paid for by Alabama Power.
You'll find only positives, including links to positive media stories about the company and issues that can help the company. And feature stories that have no direct connection to the company, but add a light, positive touch to the page.
The utility is completely honest in the purpose of the website.
The company describes the pages as...
"...a credible, direct source of the news and information that matter most to Alabama Power customers. Alabama NewsCenter also tells the stories of the people and businesses powering our state, striving to make Alabama a wonderful place to live and work.
In keeping with Alabama Power’s century of work in economic development, Alabama NewsCenter aims to promote the good news of this state through original and shared content. This site will spotlight businesses who have found success in Alabama, economic developers who work daily to grow jobs in this state, companies and entrepreneurs doing innovative things, communities that make our quality of life so much better and people doing things both great and small that make all the difference.
The stories are intended to be shared by traditional media, blogs and social media outlets or enjoyed on this site to help promote the state – its businesses, its innovation, its people and its communities. We hope this is one of the sites you return to frequently to stay informed and inspired about the state we call home."
