Interesting theory. I'd venture that there is an element of selection happening though rather than just a structural flaw. i.e. The people aren't so much trapped in this captured market but rather actively opt in.
- intended 2y agoI believe you would be right. The structural case is made in Network Propaganda. One of the authors has another paper/article (1) that summarizes this and supports your point. I don’t see any sustainable future for America, or any other nation, unless this market is rebuilt. To argue the case - while there is definitely an aspect of choice, opt-in matters less if your options are limited. 1] https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/10D034A14EA79BDEED26B75EC80B8625/9781108843058c2_43-66.pdf/political_economy_of_the_origins_of_asymmetric_propaganda_in_american_media.pdf https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/c...
