HKS's @nancygibbs urges an intentional and omnivorous "media diet." "Watch the networks you normally avoid, read writers you disagree with, seek out the perspectives you instinctively reject. The goal is not to change your mind; it is to widen the lens." ken.sc/3SdV6As

My role for CNN in 2016 was to watch all presidential campaign events, and flag all newsy moments in them. Trump said "Lock her up" all the time. This is an easy lay-up story: one could easily do keyword search of the logs to get # of times he said it. tinyurl.com/5n986npv
