To combat the harrowing media polarization you describe, I have two proposals: 1) Thomas starts a Patreon page through which he curates a balanced hodgepodge of news sources to challenge liberals, conservatives, and moderates alike to expand the way they think about politics and society. You will have minimum 1 supporter - me! 2) Thomas and his friends form a diverse "reading group" to consume and discuss said diverse media, which eventually becomes a hit podcast. We all become wealthy from the Audible advertising revenue. How does that sound?
