The decline of traditional news media will accelerate the rise of The Daily Me, and we'll be irritated less by what we read and find our wisdom confirmed more often.Of course... you still have to get past the sweating, grunting narcissist over at the weight pile by the full-length mirror.
The danger is that this self-selected "news" acts as a narcotic, lulling us into a self-confident stupor through which we will perceive in blacks and whites a world that typically unfolds in grays.
So perhaps the only way forward is for each of us to struggle on our own to work out intellectually with sparring partners whose views we deplore.
Think of it as a daily mental workout analogous to a trip to the gym; if you don't work up a sweat, it doesn't count.
