Improve The News is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them. **What's establishment bias?** The establishment view is what all big parties and powers agree on, which varies between countries and over time. For example, the old establishment view that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote was successfully challenged. ITN makes it easy for you to compare the perspectives of the pro-establishment mainstream media with those of smaller establishment-critical news outlets that you won’t find in most other news aggregators.

Main points:

  • No TV or any screens for kids under 2. It messes up their developing senses and may result in the atypical sensory processing we see in some neurodivergent people

  • Study is based on 10 year old data and does not include mobiles or tablets

  • This has implications not just for the current generation (my son is under 2) but for every generation that was sat in front of the tv as babies

  • "Normal" sensory stimulation (eg physical play) may have a mitigating effect
