I sat and looked through a piece from a Frankfurt newspaper. Topic? People of a particular political persuasion.....more focused on rejecting opinions that are different from their own.
So the other side of this study....showed that people on the right side of the spectrum....were at least willing to listen to the discussion and engage. They didn't say if the 'right' guy changed his position....just that he was willing to hear an argument.
I sat and pondered over this....at least in terms of censoring or controlling the news and social media situation.
In respect to the left side....they'd rather not get any fake news or propaganda chatter mixed into their reality....which they believe. The fact that they might see fake news or propaganda everywhere? Yeah, that is a central problem.
Did the research crew jump into propaganda or lecture, or fake news? No....they simply sat and asked enough to determine that one group wants limited chatter, and the other wants unlimited chatter.
Shocking anyone? I'm not buying into this being big news.
