[quote=Anonymous]All trust in platforms is very low. There was  a lot of self censorship. People flocked to podcasts and opinion podcasters and writers, where they felt their “point of view was shared and uncensored.” The reason is two fold:  The left started language policing and implemented a hard core “cancel culture” where people were kicked off gigs, roles etc M. The People “picked and kicked” —and lots of news was made. People sought out drama, which is normal.

At the same time, The Right cultivated its own platforms and podcasters and celebrities who shared their own points of view with their audience.

The audiences were not shared and they seldom interacted.  The sides did occasionally pirate clips and sound bytes from each other to mock the other side.

This separation and entrenchment grew during the pandemic, when people spent a lot of time alone.  They explored news alone and forged online communities. You can not separate the news and these virtual (but very real) communities in my opinion.

People were desperate to find community and many micro-communities were formed, some had political goals; many social causes gained attention (Black Lives Matter anti local police protests by the Left and gathering for anti federal government and boys-in-blue by the Right. Several bad guys were identified and vilified on both sides.

I think asking about news sources is irrelevant. It’s not how people are behaving en mass.

The conventional news and media is basically not fast enough and not entertainment-based. On line communities are.
