We've talked about media diets in class -- the political left tends to have more news diversity and the political right tends to have more news extremity. Which is more important for creating a less polarized society: more news diversity or less news extremity? #UWJ201 #315

This post sheds light on the possible "Two Faces" of power in action in our government -- Trump may be using the publicity from the "Gulf of America" phenomenon (first power) to distract society's attention from his slew of policy changes (second power). #UWJ201 #315
