According to Wikipedia, "in news media, an echo chamber is a metaphorical description of a situation in which beliefs are amplified or reinforced by communication and repetition inside a closed system and insulates them from rebuttal. By visiting an "echo chamber", people are able to seek out information that reinforces their existing views, potentially as an unconscious exercise of confirmation bias. This may increase social and political polarization and extremism."
As Wikipedia continues, "the term is a metaphor based on the acoustic echo chamber, where sounds reverberate in a hollow enclosure. Another emerging term for this echoing and homogenizing effect on the Internet within social communities, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, etc.; is cultural tribalism. Many scholars note the effects that echo chambers can potentially have on citizen's stance and viewpoints, more specifically what implications this effect will have on politics."
While Vice recently reported that alternatives to facebook and twitter such as Parler, Gab, MeWe and Rumble are creating a massive "right-wing echo chamber" with the subtitle, "here's why that's dangerous", and the Washington Post reporting 3 weeks ago that facebook served as a massive 'right wing echo chamber' as well, perhaps never before in American history have we had an 'echo chamber' as vast and pervasive as the mainstream media as illustrated perfectly in the video we've embedded directly below.
With mainstream media outlets all across the country 'echoing' the exact same lines about why 'echo chambers' are 'so dangerous to democracy', if anyone needed absolute proof that it is the mainstream media who are dangerous to America and to our Republic, we get it in this video. Please feel free to share this far and wide with any liberal neighbors or co-workers you have who think that 'Conservatives' and President Trump supporters are the people who are living within 'echo chambers'.
With 2020 Democrats, big tech and the mainstream media calling all reports of Democrat voter fraud 'disinformation' and 'fake news', with facebook and twitter going to extreme measures to censor any reports damning to 'the left', this Vice story shows just how 'Orwellian' America has become in 2020. Vice actually reported of Parler, Gab and other 'free speech outlets': "while these networks don’t pose a danger to the dominance of the mainstream platforms, their growing numbers are creating a right-wing echo chamber where users are exposed to more extremist views and the possibility of being further radicalized."
Are you kidding us? How did ALL of those media outlets use the exact same phrases and terminology unless we're witnessing one of the most dangerous and pervasive 'echo chambers' in world history? ...the mainstream media is already calling for a crackdown upon the independent media.
