This board is an island in the echo chamber that is the Legacy News Media. Sure, that means this place is itself an echo chamber, but by saying it alone it's as if all other places are virtuous and consist of well balanced and nuanced discussion and this place is some outlier.
Which is complete horseshite.

I suppose what is interesting about it is this is a group of self selecting participants in discussion that you might expect to be more balanced since it isn't "organized" or being "controlled" by some broadcasting group or outside influence.
The fact that it is such an echo chamber seems rather odd even though we know LSU fans are for the most part fairly "conservative"

I have never said this board is an outlier, and my comment doesn't insinuate or imply there aren't left-echo chambers. Hell I called Reddit one long before MAGA/Patriots even existed to repeat the meme. It's why I fought so hard to make up/down votes worthless on here, b/c that is the fastest way to ensure echo chambers.
I've also said, quite plainly, for months that my biggest concern is partisan polarity on both sides. Echo chambers and internet-based information loops are the primary tools being used by those seeking power on both sides to rile up the base and create more polarity. The ultimate goal is authoritarianism. I don't care which pole wins that war because it will be shite either way.
It's why I laugh when people use whataboutism in response to me, which is the common meme. What Lefitst-extremists are on this board for me to even address?

I’ll refer back to noted Trump-tard and raging conservative Glen Greenwald.

There’s a pretty good amount of disagreement concerning the 20 on “this board”. A true echo chamber is DU; this place just has a hard lean.
