Have you ever watched some breaking news thing on television or social media and you think,

that's terrible. How horrible. Those monsters.

Then you watch another source and you realize maybe that thing never happened or it was spun in some way.

There's all these contradictory opinions and you feel completely insane like what the hell is real.

Yeah. Welcome to the new news landscape. Pushing your buttons, emotional engineering,

rage bait, shock, horror, confusion, hate. It actually destabilizes

your psyche intentionally, but that's another story. So, what do I do to not go completely

insane? Well, one of the tools I've been using lately is ground news. It's not about telling you

what to think. It's about about telling you what to think.

It's about showing you how differently the same story is covered across the political spectrum,

so you can actually see the full landscape for yourself.

I especially like their blind spot feature, which highlights the stories each side of the media tends to ignore.

It's way too easy to get trapped in an echo chamber.

Ground news pulls reporting from multiple sources, left, right, and everything in between,

and lays it out side by side.

It's a simple way to cut through the noise, notice what you're not being shown, and get

a clearer sense of the bigger picture without being manipulated by any single narrative.

You do not have to go through life losing your effing mind.

So, speaking of blind spots and echo chambers, and trust me I know all about those, I want

you to try something.

I want to start with a thought experiment.
