"ignoring the boring"
i Think he meant selection by/of popular interest
and further selection into connected interest to what? is you
ignoring the informative or the professional observer

instead flooding of TROLLS(voters)
posting/replying to/from RAGE
untrained thinkers/liers; no one stays on topic; they miss the point (overall), or they "just don't get it". i.e.me

but there is an influx of reply's from all sectors(comments allowed)
creating an equilibrium in stable minds(the dream)

Selection bias exists in old media just as much if not more than in new media. If I'm watching Fox News as opposed to MSNBC or vice versa, I think it's fair to say that I've already chosen which ideas I'm willing to hear. At least with the internet, I might be accidentally exposed to a viewpoint I would otherwise have missed. I guess my point is that in old media, other people are doing the selecting for you, rather than in new media, where the selection process is active and personal.

yes exactly. why should we have to let someone else feed us their own bias when we can choose our own. the guy is running under the assumption that people are not wanting the actual truth, but only to reinforce their beliefs. really all i want from the news is the facts without political spin. the reason radio and internet are starting ro surpass tv and paper is that theyre saying things that tv and paper wont say. but i try to listen and watch and read a little of everything.
