Check Yourself: Are You Agenda Driven?

Do any of your primary news sources' names contain the title of your party or political leanings? (ex., liberal, conservative, republican, democrat, etc)

Do any of your primary news sources' names contain the title of the OPPOSING party or political leanings?

Do any of your primary news sources ever use nicknames for the opposition, such as "snowflakes" or "nazis"?

Do you personally ever use nicknames for the opposition?

Do you refrain from making political statements online that you are unable to back up with unbiased sources, such as government websites or medical journals? (ex., if you were to say, "Black people are more likely to be killed for being black than anybody else is for any prejudice," are you able to provide statistics from the FBI or another crime-data collecting agency?)

If asked to classify your primary news sources as being conservative or liberal, would you be able to answer definitively, with no "maybe's" or "kind of's"?

Are there any political or social issues on which you disagree with the party you usually agree with? (ex, being a pro-life liberal, anti-gun conservative, etc)

Do you question news sources that agree with you as much as you question sources that disagree with you? (I.e., as a conservative, do you question Fox News the same way you question CNN?)

Suppose you were on Facebook and you saw somebody who you know is part of your political party post something unverified and erroneous. Do you challenge them, agree with them, or ignore them?

Do you find that victories for your political party are important to you?

Say you're out to lunch with a friend you enjoy debating with, and they bring up a story about your president doing something evil or stupid that you've never heard before. What is your response?
