Is social media really more of an echo chamber than traditional newspapers/TV stations?
* Most of the liberal stuff in my FB/Twitter feeds are from NYT or Washington Post
* Back in the day, consumers of traditional media probably zoned out of TV bits/skimmed over newspaper articles that they didn't agree with
The whole "echo chamber" thing seems like a meme to me. "In the olden days, we used to go to ye olde coffee store and have intellectual conversations with randos with different political beliefs."
