It’s a mistake to believe that conservatives would move to the left if they just had better information. Great journalism is out there. If an algorithmic echo chamber prevents people from seeing it that’s hardly the reporter’s fault. I’d go further to say that the algorithms can’t be blamed for giving us what we want.

What we learned from the documents made public during the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News was that the hosts, producers, and executives were terrified of upsetting their audience. After all these years of liberal commentators telling us that Fox was radicalizing Memaw and Poppop, when we got a peak into the sausage factory it was the opposite. The viewers were radicalizing Fox.

Conservatives don’t become deplorables because they’re misinformed. Conservatives get misinformed because they’re deplorable. Don’t get it twisted.
