Have you grown weary of divisive political rhetoric? Don’t know what news source to trust anymore? Turned off your Twitter feed? Claims of FAKE NEWS! and other characterizations populate our civic dialogue. First Amendment Voice (FAV) and Saint Andrews By The Sea United Methodist Church hosted a breakfast discussion about the current state of the media today. The second coffee talk program from First Amendment Voice focused on news consumption highlighting media bias and action steps encouraging the audience to engage more in civic issues.
