"Polls are fake."
"Corporate Media is biasing reporting to help Trump."
"Political experts like Axelrod and Carville have an agenda."
"MSNBC hosts are bringing on Republicans to interview."
In the past week or so, there have been a plethora of complaints about news or opinions that go counter to a "pro-Democratic" perspective and criticism of people (myself included) who choose to share them.
One of the facets of the MAGA fans on the right is that they choose to hide themselves in a bubble of "news" and opinion that only reinforces their existing biases. My question is: are people here effectively doing the same thing?
I go out of my way to listen to perspectives that aren't pro-Democratic, because I want as much information as possible to make rational decision about how to best use my resources to get Democrats elected, and tp better understand what our opponents are thinking and doing.
Question to the people here: are you willing to listen to points of view you don't like to hear?
