64. A nation of addicts

If you had already demonized the Covington kids before reading.
If you laugh at "we need us some climate change up in here".
 If your feeds include the Huffington Post or the Drudge Report.

You may be addicted!

Some tips:

-Every once in a while, read an article from a smart person you don't agree with (Yes, they exist).
-Don't read articles whose title are meant to excite you: "Trump is a conman" "Climate Change Scientist admits he's wrong"
-Look at the sources when broad claims are made. Don't assume they are right just because you agree with them.

We've all screwed up in this world of information overload. Be aware of what you do when you repost, or even click on an article.

May we be cleansed!

Bonus:

Look how this post in reddit created a massive backlash!
