my notes ( ? )
Segregated social universes, an industry moving from red states to the coasts, and mass media’s revenue decline: The disconnect between two realities shows no sign of abating...
American political discourse in 2016 seemed to be running on two self-contained, never-overlapping sets of information... today’s media ecosystem encourage that separation... Facebook ... [has] become a single point of failure for civic information... a sewer of misinformation... driven purely by the economic incentive structure Facebook has created
There was an enormous amount of good journalism done on Trump ... For anyone who wanted to take it in, the pickings were rich. The problem is that not enough people sought it out.
I used to be something of a skeptic when it came to claims of “filter bubbles” ... But I’ve come to think that the rise of fake news... has weaponized those filter bubbles.
