    CUK makes you more broad minded?

    Facebook makes us more narrow-minded, study finds - Telegraph

    Research finds that users seek out information that reinforces their beliefs, which is then shared and given increasing weight whether accurate or otherwise

    So CUK must do the reverse?

    I believe MF is a nice, witty, jet-setting, reality-based poster. Could someone reinforce that please?

      Information != knowledge

      we all seek out sources of information that reinforce our own narrative. That's what any medium does. Did these "researchers" honestly think that "social media" was somehow different from any other media?

        Agreed in the main.

            Is that how you justify your subscriptions to 'Readers Wives' and, it's gay equivalent, 'Readers Husbands'?

              As if we would, but, surely, taking the pee out of him is OK.
