This essay is terrific in its criticism of social media! I actually just started listening to Postman's book on Spotify , but will borrow the paper version from the library as he's very convincing and writes bloody well 😂

By the way Alan, would you not recommend Spiked.com as a reliable news source?

I identify as very much left wing/"socialist" , but am wanting to expand my worldview even if I don't agree with the other perspectives.

I try limit news consumption(Al Jazeera, NYT etc.) in general anyway, as it damages my focus and is less useful to me than reading good nonfiction, but I'm always glad to know if there's any sources worth avoiding altogether due to bias.

Thanks

Thanks
