The podcast "Question Everything" explores how differing news consumption habits and beliefs about election fraud strained the marriage of Dick and Emily, a couple in their 70s. Zach St. Louis, a producer on the show, details how the couple's opposing views, particularly regarding Donald Trump and the 2020 election, led to significant marital discord. The couple sought a neutral news source and found Tangle, a newsletter that presents both right-leaning and left-leaning perspectives on a single topic. Tangle's approach, along with its transparent correction policy and the writer Isaac Saul's open sharing of his own biases, helped bridge the couple’s divide and, remarkably, changed Dick's mind about the election being stolen. The discussion also touches upon another individual, Rick, who experienced a similar transformation through Tangle, highlighting the potential for such media to mend relationships strained by political polarization.
