Very much so.

To try to avoid it, I'm ignoring anything political or opinion based on my Facebook account. I've added opinion blogs in my RSS reader that are obviously intelligent and thoughtful but completely infuriatingly different from my own opinions. Once in a while I read them and try to force myself to keep an open mind. It's tough.

I'm trying to avoid using Reddit for anything but stuff that relates to hobbies. Unfortunately a lot of them are starting to get depressingly political. I might have to cut Reddit off entirely if it keeps up.

I get my news from news agencies. Their stuff is significantly less biased than newspapers and news blogs.

I'm starting to read more new litterature. Rethreading the same old stuff that's sure to reinforce my opinions is unhealthy in the long run.
