Suggestion: Use the Phrase “News Filter” Instead of “News Source.”

A lot of our problems could be fixed if we stop using the term “news source” and start using the term “news filter.” E.g., “I get my news from the NPR/MSNBC/NYT news FILTER.” Or, “I utilize the FOX/Breitbart news filtering system.” Or, if you are feeling feisty, use the full term, “Nanny Filter.”

This suggestion is unlikely to be adopted by many in light of our prevailing Americhean (American + Manichean) zeitgeist.
