Enjoyed this characteristically pithily written blend of self-inquiry and broader philosophical reflection. Important read for anyone struggling to articulate how the media should be something other than it is.

I think these thoughts too about the ubiquity of tribalist thinking and am particularly concerned about top-down enforced viewpoint conformity by those who fancy themselves to be the producers of "truths." Do you know of Heterodox Academy? It had me from the tagline, "great minds don't always think alike." These people promote the viewpoint diversity that is so sorely lacking in academia and elsewhere. This morning I listened to a talk about so many forbidden but now more widely known truths, the "noble lies of Covid," and then read your relevant article here.
