they were forced into echo chambers because mainstream channels are their own echo chambers.
thus the 2 realities the top post is referring to.

Go watch the George Floyd body cameras. All of them. The full 1 hour (30 min per officer). The story is ENTIRELY different than the one that was fed to us.
People don't trust those channels because it's so easy to look at literally any other non-mainstream source to see how we've been constantly lied to.
“Sudden discovery of 50 thousand votes”, and suggestions that “Democratic counties reporting last” means they can arbitrarily add votes as needed.
This isn’t some extreme view it’s being endorsed by both elected officials and pundits. I am genuinely concerned that people have forgotten just how fragile democracy is and are trying to score political points at the expense of critical institutions.
That's assuming the losing minority still wants democracy. Maybe they just want King-for-Life Trump.
political news is a waste of time and probably a net negative for an individual. That's MY truth which you won't find on CNN or breitbart's twitter feed.
I actively avoid political news (it sucks it is showing up here on HN).
EDIT: I don't like CNN fwiw.
I was mainly talking about political news, I do occasionally browse some mainstream business news.
There is no “CNN Politics” TV channel, nor is there a “CNN World” (“CNN International” is a thing, though) or “CNN Business” (there used to be CNNfn, but its been gone for more than a decade) channel.
“Business”, “Politics”, and “World” are sections of the CNN website; the corresponding content would generally all be covered, on TV, by the main CNN channel.
