Social media echo chamber could be fueling the rise of populism

Hah this hasnt aged well at all

I get my news from a wide variety of sources. The most biased of "fake news" sources are what is considered mainstream media here in the US - New York Times, Washington Post, NBC News, CBS News, ABC News and CNN are among the worst offenders. NBC News actually doctored 911 calls to make the caller sound racist, CBS News actually ran a story demeaning George W. Bush based on forged documents, CNN employee was caught (thanks to Wikileaks) actually giving Hillary Clinton debate questions before the debate. New York Times and Washington Post actually sent stories to the Clinton campaign for them to edit. The mainstream US media has become propaganda and public relations arm of the Democrat party and the left in general. They have no interest in the truth and now that alternative media sources are gaining popularity, strength and credibility, the mainstream media is fighting back with slander.

Some of us do look at both sides and we still find mainstream liberal media a farce.

If you always block those who you disagree with, have only friends who have the same opinions as you do, be prepared for a surprise in an election.

The problem is the snowflakes that are too afraid to hear an opposing opinion. They're blocking or silencing the others and leave themselves in an echo chamber.
