THIS is what we mean by "Beyond the Echo Chamber"…except not just cable, but multiplatform debate & content:
"If narrowcasting is the future, then why can't there be a progressive channel? And a paleoconservative channel? And populist, and libertarian, and democratic socialist channels, too? I don't mean partisan channels, like Fox and MSNBC, populated by robotic agents of the Democratic and Republican parties justifying whatever the party leaders did or said in the previous 24 hours. I mean channels where people who belong to an extrapartisan political-intellectual movement discuss the issues of the day from their perspective, with little regard for whether it helps or hurts one of the two party machines in the next election."
