America's endless supply of niche media outlets has given us the option of selecting a news source that suits our specific political ideology, leaving us with a narrower perspective and a brazen contempt for any opposing viewpoints. Individualism and dissent are the lifeblood of our democracy. We have to remember, however, that...
