It's tough, because there's a very natural (and not entirely wrong) drive to favor those who agree with us.
The other thing I should have included in the list is that I try to be very comfortable with uncertainty. Just because I hear something reported doesn't mean I have to believe anything about it. I can reserve judgement for after enough credible evidence has emerged.

That’s the most accurate way of describing how to avoid being part of the dumb crowd. I also wait for a while to see updates and how things shared a few hours ago by the same media channels can completely change. I actually learned this from a Youtube video, and surprisingly, it works every time! Thanks.
