The Truth Hurts: How to Break Free from Your News Bubble

3DADBODS: The State of News Media - Sifting Through Bias

The 3DADBODS team discusses the evolution of news media, the shift from being a reliable source of information to being more of a tool for political activism. They reflect on how the dynamism of today's news cycle has led to information being rushed and sometimes poorly vetted. The hosts also question how anonymous sources are used and stress the importance of reliable sources and critical thinking. They explore various trusted sources like Cato Institute, Daily Mail, and Reason.com, emphasising that it's useful to step outside one's echo chamber. They also highlight the value of feel-good stories amidst the clamour of sensationalised news. Finally, they tease an upcoming episode featuring an interview with an individual who had a near-death experience.
