Can you explain what is 'alt right' and what it means?

People who get their news and opinions from right wing conspiracy mills

Do you think it's best to shield yourself from dissent? Only certain authority figures are allowed to fact check?

Depends on the context.

You should try this web app:

https://spidr.today

It has MSM outlets as well as 'alt-right' outlets, and clusters articles by topic.

I find it useful for reading between the lines, surveilling for propaganda talking points, and generally keeping an open mind.

I think it's intellectually dishonest to ignore information based only on their source.

Cheers!

I'm not ignoring it because of the source, I'm ignoring it because it isn't remotely credible and doesn't remotely reflect the Democratic platform.

I wish I still felt that way.
