Page 35 - Echo Chambers News Today

Going on but by the time i got to thursday, i felt maybe were pulling back. >> i think what the president needs to realize though is that those rallies are not focus groups. those are echo chambers. people that wear maga hats and pretty much agree with everything he says. if you talk to business leaders in downtown dallas, you talk to business leaders in downtown ft. worth that are republicans that belong to the nra that have memberships at local shooting ranges here, they will tell you they don...

To digest this through ten to 20-second sound bites, key exchanges. their perception of the hearing will be very much like what we saw last night when they ran these montages of the big moments. what they saw, people who digested the hearing that way, saw mueller say he couldnt exonerate trump from obstruction of justice. he said right now at this second russia is trying to interfere in our election. he said the presidents answers were not truthful. when you see it that way, your perception is v...

A number of reasons. its a neat ten-year window that we can look at the trump rise and the change within the republican party. but much of this i think does probably go back to the post 9/11 environment because that was really the last time in which you saw the country unified not just politically but culturally, as well. there was a real sense of societal cohesion. i think what boehner and i were discussing -- marco rubio raised this point to me. they said if 9/11 happened today, do any of us t...

There was a real sense of societal cohesion. i think what boehner and i were discussing -- marco rubio raised this point to me. unsolicited. when we were talking for the book. they said if 9/11 happened today, do any of us think that the response would be anything close to what we saw in 2001? i think the answer is no. i think the country has become so polarized not just along political lines but along the cultural fault lines. and we have become self-selected into these echo chambers and the ge...

Many people overdepend on how people are covered in capable news echo chambers and we have to encourage people to look at the policies that these candidates are introducing and what resonates with them. >> and theres -- i wonder, chris, if there is a difference between folks doing grassroots fund-raising and more high-dollar max out stuff. kamala harris, joe biden, pete buttigieg, who are doing more traditional, both grassroots and big high-dollar max out and bernie sanders and elizabeth warren ...

When we even see the coverage, again, that some of the -- too many people overdepend on how people are covered in capable news echo chambers and we have to encourage people to look at the policies that these candidates are introducing and what resonates with them. >> and theres -- i wonder, chris, if there is a difference between folks doing grassroots fund-raising and more high-dollar max out stuff. kamala harris, joe biden, pete buttigieg, who are doing more traditional, both grassroots and bi...

The next question, sir, as a man of the catholic faith how do you feel about third trimester abortions? i think i know what he actually believes, which is he would be opposed but he will probably fold on that under pressure. i dont think this is good for him. they all screamed and yelled at him. this shows he could be pushed around and he was pushed around on the anita hill thing, about the crime bill. funny thing, too, you guys about the field. we have 23 people and it is beginning to look like...

Think a lot of people tune into this network who tune in in good faith. >> i want to ask you about this. criticism for pete buttigieg for doing the town hall. trying to split the difference and going after fox anchors in a primetime special. >> i thought it was smart for him honestly. you know, i dont know home committed democrats are watching fox news, but there is an echo chambers, and he went into the lions den and he criticized the president. he criticized some of the anchors for what he sai...

About the country, then you t are going to encourage a free exchange and open exchange of ideas. this show aggressively pursues democrats. not simply to tear down do that and itear down think its warranted but also to agree with because there are some things they are saying that are right. we complimented aoc for criticizing no, for paying the biggest company in the world to come there amazon. we complicated -- complimented her. she was right. and they dont want that. why wouldnt they encourage ...
