Cowering In Our Echo Chambers

TW: We frequently post on the echo chamber impact of Americans increasingly ignoring media other than that which validates their own biases and ideologies. The above validate our hypothesis. Americans appear to be migrating increasingly towards the more ideologically biased networks whilst assuming in general is increasingly biased. A vicious and somewhat self-fulfilling circle.
The middle ground becomes increasingly barren even though almost all claim to yearn for the middle ground. But when folks are actually resting atop their own islands surrounded by moats of disbelief and mistrust the middle ground becomes an increasingly unattainable chimera.
