And here is something Outside your News Peripherals:
A Blindspot is something I will try to do daily.
Some days it will be simply News Links and other days will include some commentary. Some days there may be 30 articles and some days 5. Please let me know which you prefer and what times you like to receive it!
I will put in a news article that is not showing up on Left Leaning News Sources. This may mean that Centered Sources are publishing it but absolutely NO or Very Few or Obscure Left Leaning Publications are Broadcasting the Story.
I think its good for us to leave our echo chambers every now and again. I will NEVER knowingly post false or misleading articles from Right Leaning News sources.
You can also go to Ground News and use their amazing tools. They take the other major Fact, Bias and Ownership Checkers and aggregate their data. I will also put any warnings I can on News Sources for the Blindspot Section. If you are interested in me posting an entire post of these ratings for my most used sources)
