      Something that is [facile] is something that is simplistic and that ignores complexities and nuances.
      E.G.
      The current state of mainstream news analysis. The current state of (especially) Western or domestically internal political discourse regarding the issues of the contemporary world. The [soundbite], the blurb, the blog. An explanation that fits in a browser screen-- an easy answer that can be bandied about in place of an informed, researched position. [Facile] articles are easily [clickable] news links on the Web, such that little or no sourcing or evidence is cited.

        Ignoring the true complexities of an issue; superficial.
