Well imagine if you have a few friends who are into cars and they're all about, say, reducing certain regulations on tailpipes. You yourself don't know much about cars and frankly don't care, but because the people you are around predominantly keep giving you these convincing arguments, you start to support their side without even thinking about it. When someone random person starts arguing a counterpoint, you might even start repeating what your friends told you. Most congressman aren't creating or remixing content. They probably don't care that much, but the people lobbying are definitely more one-sided.
