What does your social life look like? Do you have a truly diverse collection of friends, or just a handful of people who are like you in terms of race, gender, age, profession, income, hobbies, etc? News sources are just a symptom. If you don't have a diverse social life, friends and peers who live and think differently from you, you won't have a why when encountering new ideas and information. You won't have the perspective of someone who lives what you just encountered. You'll lack perspective. Without perspective, it's easy to reject and ignore things that contradict what's already in your bubble.
