There's been a fragmentation of the marketplace that is pretty obvious to most people. One difficulty with it is that you have to shop around these days. If you're inclined to the right of the spectrum, there are a number of advocacy journalism organizations, as I call them, that you can go to, where you can get your opinions reinforced. They can also produce some fresh news, but it's unlikely that you're going to go there.
It's the same on the left of the spectrum. There are dozens of them. You're not going to go there and say, “Gosh, I never thought of things that way before,” or, “Gee, I didn't know that,” or, “That MP that I thought I hated, maybe she's not so bad. Maybe she's not a crazy lady.”
There's nothing that disrupts the flow of your predetermined thinking unless you shop around. That's dangerous, because you start to get a very segmented society, and people start to view people with opposing views as a danger and a threat, so all of a sudden those opinions have to be managed. Once you get one government thinking that they need to manage these opinions they find objectionable, another government's going to come along and manage the other side. I think it's a very dangerous road that we're walking down right now.
