I think more Americans need to go directly to the source to get their information.
Go directly to the White House and read what it has to say.
Also be aware of News Frames and the importance of them coupled with fact-checking.

@Museek How to get them to do this? Leave their comfortable ignorance bubble?
@gemswinc Great question..
I think media literacy workshops that promote fact checking tools in local communities and online.
Linking to those sources when we are online.. promoting those who do .. linking to specifics from CSPAN and other official comminications with summaries..
asking media outlets to do this..
those are some ways.. Remembering Media outlets work for shareholders..
@Museek The link didn't work for me, so sorry if I missed something there.

Also recommended for uninterrupted video: C-SPAN.

@JazzCrafter @Museek @gemswinc I don’t really watch TV. I process things better if I can slowly read over things. I also feel better with transcripts because I feel like information isn’t cut out giving a different impression of what is said.
@Museek @gemswinc @JazzCrafter I just noticed a new link on the site in the upper left corner of the page.
@SatuUnelmia @Museek @gemswinc
I envy you. wish I had the time.. I do read a lot, though. If you want to get a wide range of reporting, though, I highly recommend Ground News. It sorts the latest thoroughly.

@JazzCrafter @gemswinc @Museek Thank you! I will check it out! Im addicted to reading but im disabled and have limited mobility, so my world is my mind 98% of the time. I get around my house fine but need a chair to leave the house without falling. I have nerve damage so I don’t always have full control of my hands and feet. So simple things like playing cards isn’t something that I can do. I can read though, listen to books, and live life just slower than normal.
@JazzCrafter @gemswinc @Museek It’s one reason CoSo is so special to me. I don’t keep up with social media for stretches of time because I need to deal with real life. Then when I’m in need of social interaction it’s here for me. Not with hate but positive energy and love for others.its a beautiful thing for me.
@JazzCrafter Thank you!
