Well to the extent one's news sources are determined and pushed/suggested by algos based on profiling that's passively accepted by user, then yes op's claim applies. News sources are unfortunately becoming quasi identity issues. Think fox v. CNN v. Npr listeners. Having one adherent meet an opposing adherent is like the pope meeting an atheist. News could also help itself: - cut out sensational headlines - knock off jibber jabber. Both fox and CNN give news then turn it over to a panel for comment. Leading questions attempt to sensationalize with: in your 20 years have you seen anything like this? How bad is it? - be more like Cspan who do not dabble in entertainment masquerading as news eg tucker Carlson or Limbaugh Users can help themselves: - stop confusing panelists with real. Don Lemmon, Hannity, and Carlson hold no office and don't vote on issues. - read: the best sources of analysis are in written form (economist, scmp, foreign affairs, new Yorker, Atlantic journal, and books). All that work requires an attention span to write and read - stop being used and then blaming on somebody else!
