We only want to hear what we want to hear, and the extra effort it might take to discover alternate viewpoints may simply not be worth the time. Sad indeed. Very valid points.

What is required is some sources to tell us about the various different types of information available. On the other hand consumers of information seldom change information sources. So one part is to present different information or data. The other part is to provoke them into thinking and searching for views. Jason I agree with what Candis has to say.
