If you want to know whether your news sources are factual, biased, or just plain partisan, check the U.S. Media Bias Chart. See it full-size. This could use a third dimension, to show how much influence these news sources have, since millions people watch Fox news, and few have even heard of the sources on the left.

I don't like the essay on American patriotism. I'd call it
sad if it wasn't so dangerous. American Exceptionalism (and
thus patriotism) is tied to Alexis de Tocqueville, who it is
said never even used the term (except for once and out of
context).
If I were in charge, de Tocqueville's 'book' Democracy in
America would be required reading in High School. But
here's the thing: Democracy in America is about America's
version of democracy in comparison to other sovereign and
independent democratic nations. Sharia, communism, and
totalitarianism? Nope. It's twisted.
Read Democracy in America online.
