    I picked up rather an attitude of moral certainty and satisfaction. What would it be like if you spent a week listening to only the MSM? Does the Left also have an echo chamber:

    Something tells me Phillippe's simulation was about as similar to reality as a night at medieval times simulates the 10th century.

    Right wing thought based on the constitution? Apparently you haven’t spent the time in the rightwing media bubble than even the article’s author.

    Interesting article but it wasn’t meant for this boards audience.

    Yes. The left's echo-chamber is called "Reality". The right would not survive a whole week listening to that echo chamber. They'd go nuts.

    Unfortunately, there is no left wing media to publicize it.

    The left's echo chamber MAY be close to reality.

    The echo chamber of liberals, aka Pepsi conservatives?

    DoublePlus rabbit hole good.

    Translation, "I was concerned to know the most accurate information at the time, knew in advance MSM would be full of Fake News and fear-grifting, so I used Fox to get the closest to the truth. Now I'm LARPING that I was watching it ironically and trying to scam LW Beast for a fee."

    Agree 100%
    It's actually quite hilarious (but mostly sad) that this is what they think happens.

    I'm to lazy to summarize my week with my thumbs but there is almost zero overlap with that list. Maybe later when I'm in front of a keyboard.
