Respectfully disagree. I think minds are being changed by news sources and real-life experiences, and social media is reinforcing the views of each tribe.
- shuntress 6y agoMinds are changed by all inputs but some are more effective than others. I don't think it is a stretch to assume "community consensus" is the most effective way to change minds. That (in both cases, perceived) consensus can be accessed through either "traditional" or "social" media but either way people decide based mostly on "What does everyone else think about this?"
