    I’m happier when I don’t read the latest news about Trump.

    Yet big things are happening. I live in a bubble. So unless it’s posted on the CR, then I may or may not know about it.

    I definitely prefer not to hear new things from Facebook posts. I’ve already Unfollowed a lot of people because of politics.

    But no news is freedom.

    BTW: I just mean Googling “Trump,” under the News section, with results in the past 24 hours. Then I scroll through whatever articles accordingly. I don’t have a tv. I don’t watch Trump videos. But I see a lot of his face, and read some of his quotes.

    WWYD? Thanks in advance

    I’ve found that in order to have an accurate picture of what’s going on with him, without an immense bias, it requires actively checking and reading the right places. When I see what’s actually going on, and read intellectual news, as opposed to emotional news, it is considerably more normal, to say the least.

    FuturePOTUS: Which places are the right places to get the right sense of the news?

    The important part is that whatever side of the political spectrum one is on, for him/her to get a variety. There is bias on both sides of the media, and in order to make sense out of all the confusion, one must hear both sides of the issues. This is why the media figure I perhaps have the most respect for is Chris Wallace (he hosted the third Presidential Debate), who is a Democrat who works at Fox News. That way he hears both sides of everything, the liberal from his beliefs and sources, and the conservative from his workplace. This allowed him to run a fair, and unbiased debate, because he was able to ask from points of view held by opposite sides of the spectrum. The other important thing is awareness. News should rarely be taken as fact to be left unquestioned, it should be analyzed and run through one’s own mind for him/her to see if it makes sense, or is perhaps biased.

    Personally, I read the Wall Street Journal every day, Apple News and Flipboard for variety, and Fox News and Drudge Report for casual getting the news.
