  Media sources designed to target confirmation biases, echo chambers, and viral fake news are a negative influence in all politics. Why do you think they mean only negative towards their side?

    > Media sources designed to target confirmation biases, echo chambers, and viral fake news So you mean basically every political campaigns? Not sure how in touch you are with local politics, but the local political TV ads I see every night have been like this for years

      You're right, I mean (many) of those too. People have been discussing negative and positive effects (on all sides of the political spectrum) of television and TV ads for a long time. Now we're discussing Facebook, because it just recently gained so much of this power, and it seems to be uniquely good at causing these negative symptoms.
