Reality Check is not a place to rehash partisan politics or obsess over the details of another media explosion that has overwhelmed us all. Instead, it’s a place to sort out what we think about an event (or a set of events) that is so heavily covered by the media that we’ve lost track of what’s important. We believe that people with divergent beliefs — given the time and space to connect in a safe environment — will be able to move beyond rhetoric and rediscover the complexities that are obscured by polarized positions. They might not agree with one another in the end, but hopefully they will come away with a deeper understanding of the issues and their own positions.
