@HeidiHarrisShow Ah, so you don’t like the concept. Got it! What did you think the app would do, based on the name? We’ve not encountered this type of mismatch before. Suggestions for what an app with a name like ours should be doing are welcome!

@ReadAcrossAisle Well “keeping track of how I’m doing” is pretty obnoxious. Who decides if I’m being a good girl or not? Somebody in their jammies at home? Very odd.

Wow. This app I heard about and gave a try, @ReadAcrossAisle wants to “keep track” of how much I read of one side or the other? I do that every day, thanks. Without monitoring. DELETE.

Want to know how conservative a podcaster is? Check the pronunciation of “omicron” and “Kamala.” Moderates pronounce more or less correctly, while hard-right folks butcher the terms, seemingly on purpose. Case in point: @MattWalshBlog, who says “omni-corn” and “cuh-MAY-luh”

Did you predict the #Elections2020 House, Senate, and Presidential results? If so, which news outlets informed your judgment? If you were blindsided, which outlets led you astray?

@jennko In the Chrome extension you don’t have to pick sites—it’ll just track what you read and populate the dashboard with a graphic reflecting those sites. Also tracks social media based on links clicked through to from those platforms

@ReadAcrossAisle I just heard about you guys and downloaded the Chrome extension! Is there a way for me to pick my publications or is that just for the app? Want to make sure in doing this right

@Cadill We’re hoping to have the issue resolved soon!

@ReadAcrossAisle I'm getting the error "SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0" on the WSJ Guest Pass page. Any idea how to fix it?

@tryder9 @oblivious_dude No need to be snarky with your LMGTFY link, especially to folks who have only ever given you free stuff! We spend our nights and weekends building these free tools to help promote civil discourse. We don’t charge a thing, but would appreciate kindness in return.

@ReadAcrossAisle @oblivious_dude I got you, fam lmgtfy.com/?q=SyntaxError…

@ReadAcrossAisle Hi, recently when I try to access the WSJ via your chrome extension, I get only "SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0," and no access to the paper. Can you help?

@tryder9 @oblivious_dude Please send us a youtube video that shows how we can solve this! The login page isn't something we control, so I can't imagine how this is something we can fix on our own :/

@ReadAcrossAisle @oblivious_dude Still getting same error. There's people reporting this as far back as June. There are even youtube videos explaining how you can fix it. What's the deal?

.@amyklobuchar may officially still be in the running, but @NBCNews is already phasing her out—one syllable at a time. OTOH, whoever edited this piece also misspelled Barack Obama's name, so perhaps it was just bring-your-kid-to-work day at NBC #FakeNews #FactCheck #SpellCheck

Just in time for the 2020 election cycle, Twitter decided to reinforce our filter bubbles: techcrunch.com/2019/09/19/twi…

@JasGarsd Thanks for your work on this important topic. We’d love to share what we’ve learned from helping people escape their social media filter bubbles. If you’re interested in connecting: Nick@ReadAcrossTheAisle.com

What is the worst Twitter fight you’ve ever gotten into? For a project I’m working on for NPR.

Thought it was going to be a parody about the outrage aimed at centrists candidates. Nope, it was just more polarization, including this gem: "In general, centrists are furiously opposed to any proposal that would ease the lives of ordinary Americans." nytimes.com/2019/01/31/opi…
