VoodooVsays...Other than obviously places like Fox News, isn't it actually hard to get news that conforms to your viewpoints. I've never been to Yahoo news so I don't know if they lean one way or the other, but I suspect that if you filtered your news to certain topics, you'd still get opposing viewpoints.
For example despite what people say about CNN, there are plenty of articles the are pro both sides of the aisle, but if you read the comments, they are convinced that CNN is either left propaganda or right propaganda depending on which commentator you ask.
don't you pretty much have to pick a single site to get ALL of your news from if you want to filter out any opposing viewpoints? but at that level, you have to be aware you're actively filtering out news you don't agree with.
so I get the point he's trying to make, but I think realistically, unless you are consciously going to a website that aligns with your political viewpoints, I think it's pretty hard to not at least be exposed to an opposing viewpoint.
