Some solid sharing of other news outlets. Thanks.I wonder—am I alone in thinking about how we exist in echo chambers and what can we do about that? While the Right seems to thrive in its echo chambers, I recognize the comfort of reading and sharing with like-minded individuals. Yet, the left-of-center echo chamber reinforces shared beliefs without engaging dissenting views, limiting outreach, self-criticism, and broader impact. This issue isn’t limited to political writings but extends to campaigns and, most critically, to many elected officials and party leaders (it would be like in political campaigns in Iowa, when a candidate only knocks on D registered doors and expects to win.)
What does altmedia think of addressing echo chambers by listening to Joe Rogan, subscribing to Mark Halperin, watching some Fox and NewsNation, reading the WST, or other?
In my experience many progressive writers, and commenters, on Substack, for instance, DO look at or read non-reinforcing belief, echo chambers. Look at the links to other news sources, and the embedded clips or photos. How many of Joe Rogan, or WarRoom, or WSJ or NewsNation readers/listeners view "alt media" sources, is another question. Neither are all commenters here liberals or progressives.

Never a penny of. my hard earned money will cross their palms.
