I guess I don't have this problem on purpose? I look at blogs I know are diametrically opposed to my views for as long as I can tolerate. I still read some politics Usenet groups to see what links people post and what they say about the information at those links.

I understand. I make an effort to.

Understanding doesn't mean agreement, or even thinking that they are ethical people supporting their values. They pretty much prove that they're not. Understanding actually makes me think less of them. I'm not sure this is prosocial.

There may be something to be said for the proposition that you can tolerate better what is not shoved in your face on a regular basis.
