Bursting The Bubbles!

---

​This week's
impeachment proceedings
highlighted the voices
of several  
career diplomats
and foreign policy experts,
including Fiona Hill,
a former National Security adviser.

Her words remind us that
there is real danger
in letting ourselves
get whipped into a
partisan frenzy
by the latest
tweet or post.

How do we keep ourselves
from ​getting pulled
into the partisan vortex?

One important step is to
think critically
about
who is producing
the information
in our media diet.

AllSides   ​
 is a non-partisan organization
working hard to burst our
internet news filter bubbles.

Their mission is to...

Strengthen our democracy by freeing people from 
filter bubbles 
so they can better understand the world — and each other.

A worthy goal!

Check out their 
media bias
page and see where your
favorite online news source falls
on their left/right continuum.

Then,
consider seeking out
a different
news source every
now and then...

Can the same story
be told
in another way?

Find out!

Let's make an effort
to consume a
balanced
​media diet
and burst those
filter bubbles!
