This publication is all about beautifully biased news coverage. And it started with a belief that I learnt more when I read different coverage.
I’ve always been a politics nerd. And if I really wanted to dive into a topic, I’d go and read an article by CNN, Fox News and The Guardian. Why? Because they’d all tell a different story.
There’s something very interesting about that fact. Why is that our media can tell all different stories? This got me thinking about my information bubble. Someone has to be wrong and someone has to be right? Why is Donald Trump a “twice-impeached felon” in one article and “a successful businessman” in the other?
How can sources be a “loyal Democrat messenger” in one article and an “experienced political operative” in another.
Packaging matters, is what I came to learn. Because the narratives I saw across CNN, Fox News and The Guardian were wildly different. I wondered what it would be like to read just one of them. I’d stumbled upon the concept of an information bubble.
Now I won’t bore you will all the details but I will say I despite information bubbles. Hate is a strong word but it probably applies here. That’s what I’m fighting to end.
Everyone should be challenging themselves to listen to the ‘other side’. Maybe it’s just to destroy your opponents in an argument later. Maybe it’s to evaluate your own opinion. It doesn’t matter.
The information bubble serves no one and that’s where my publication comes in…
