You have an interesting point of view on political echo chambers. Today's rhetoric is that the NYT and WSJ are both "MSM" and therefore on the same side with the same point of view. You'd have to watch (not read) Fox, Russia Today, One America News, Breitbart, etc to get the other other side.
What's really disheartening is that this isn't just a problem with the American people; our president also falls into the trap of only consuming media he agrees with, and regurgitating it without challenge, consideration, or counterpoint to offset the source's bias. There's no easy solution for this; even if Trump leaves early his supporters and the system that got him elected will still be there to put someone like him (biased and manipulable) back into power.
