To feed your conversation you need to feed your mind. Social media is the death of evidence-based, nuanced debate. It's idiot central where everyone has an opinion and thinks they're entitled to it. POTUS is a shining example.

Here is some brain food to get you going:

• New Matilda has some of the best analysis in Australia.
• The Guardian eats Murdoch for breakfast.
• Al Jazeera reports without the militarised hyperbole.
• SBS has the best of multicultural Australia - RSS feed below
• And the ABC - still the most trusted news source in Australia, no matter what the mean spirited right wing say.
