While out to lunch last Sunday, I picked up a newspaper and browsed through one section. Every headline assumed a single point of view, the left-leaning view.
Minneapolis is wracked with conflict (image) right now, as you probably know. But a reader of the biggest Twin Cities' newspaper would never learn from the headlines I saw that there are other worthy interpretations of what's going on, that there are non-left decent people who have something to say.
Emotions are amplified. Additional facts and context to the stories don't get reported as they're discovered, because opinions and feelings are hardened. Stories or narrative get "crystallized before facts emerge."
"Emotional polarization [is] amplified by ideological media driving radicalized behavior," according to this pollster.
