Posit: what they call "echochambers" aren't a bad thing, because there's not 2 sides to every issue. If 85% of us believe that minority X are people, and 15% believe that X have no right to life, it's ok for the 85% to live in an "echochamber" of their belief in shared humanity
The belief that every issue has two sides, and that we should "hear the controversy", is a vulnerability of our media system. It has been exploited by the far right and has led to its rise to power.
Politics as spectacle is the core vulnerability of our media - everything else follows.
The converse has also happened historically, unfortunately. The problem is in who ought to decide what is correct.
And in some cases, both "sides" are wrong and journalists fail to investigate because they think they've done their job in reporting the two equally wrong opposing beliefs.
I think, being exclusively among selecte, like-minded people has allowed sceptisism of scientific facts to reappear (e.g. flat-earth believers). I don't have any hard facts to back this up, though. In general I agree that not every side of a story has to be heard, though.
Simple minds see only two sides and it's easy to manipulate them by presenting only two bad choices, but nature and reality provide a spectrum.
Who is arguing that some have no right to life?
