The AP Solution: Reading Only Associated Press News Could Heal U.S.

To end stubbornness and anxiety, take one AP notification every hour.

The Associated Press (AP) has more reporters in more cities and towns than any other news organization in America. They provide fair news articles to the media. Yet you don’t hear much about them. You will only know they’re there when you see the letters “AP” at the start of an article. In The New York Times, this might be one story in 10. In a small daily in Ohio, it might be nearly all the national news articles.

I think using the AP in a certain way can put an end to the hysteria on both sides of the American political spectrum that is tearing this country apart. To calm it all down, get the AP app on your smartphone and only allow “notifications” about news stories from the AP.

Yes, keep your other news apps, the ones that tell you what you want to hear. Tap them. You can still get news on them. Just turn off their “notifications.” You’re a big boy (or girl). You can make decisions for yourself. And you can protest and vote. But as you stop getting your opinion reaffirmed on your screen every 10 minutes, and instead read the AP, everyone will begin talking to one another again. Provided everyone does this.

Here were the headlines on the morning of Wednesday, March 28. I list Fox (championing the right) and The New York Times (championing the left.) And then I list the AP.

I also offer my thoughts and interpretations about what these headlines mean in parenthesis after each Fox and The New York Times headline.
