“This Is the Ultimate Reality TV Show”
Cilizza blames this on the fact that people are insulated their ideological silos where they are fed a steady diet of information that only reflects their preconceived biases and there is certainly some truth in that. For years studies have shown that people who get most of their information from say, Fox News, are more misinformed than those who get their news well … anywhere else. The idea that everyone is living in an echo chamber is not a new idea but unfortunately Cilizza, as a member of the mainstream media feels the need to create a false equivalence. He says that liberals are just as likely to do this as conservatives and there is just no evidence that this is true. Sure there are lefty media echo chambers where people reinforce each others’ biases but the right has long been the ones to make a profit at it. The Trump phenomenon should be proof enough of where it leads when people are unclear on that.
