In an analysis of the trends, former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke theorized that political polarization has a big role to play: In a highly polarized environment, with echo-chamber media, political debates often become shrill, and commentators and advocates have strong incentives to argue that the country's future is bleak unless their party gains control.

While Gab and its founder Andrew Torba prefer to pitch the site as a free-speech hub for everyone, in reality Gab is mostly well known as a haven for neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other extremists who have used it as a far-right echo chamber (in many cases after being removed from mainstream platforms).

Ben Rhodes, who detailed to The New York Times Magazine last week his efforts to create an "echo chamber" around the Iran pact, wrote on Medium the White House had been straightforward in its longstanding efforts to broker an agreement with Tehran, seeking to explain its components to the American people while lawmakers debated final approval.

Because r/the_donald is perhaps Reddit's most intense echo chamber, any questions that challenge Trump or paint him as anything less than the "God Emperor" that the community has decided to anoint him will be downvoted into oblivion; people who decide to challenge Trump will surely be banned by the community's moderators, who have a "no dissenters" rule.

This music is indeed spare, lacking centered keyboards or rhythm guitars; in their place is an echo chamber filled with pingponging plinks, bleeps, squiggles, honks, vocal loops, symphonic airhorns, simulated a cappella singers going doo-doo and dum-dum, and any number of abrasive electronic scratches; even the token ballad soars and aches over incongruously syncopated squeals.

And Trump has prepared an echo chamber network ready to spread rumors, which runs from the dirty tricks operative Roger Stone (who is an unofficial hatchet man for the campaign), to the radio host Alex Jones (whose show, Infowars, Trump has appeared on), to the National Enquirer (whose anti-Ted Cruz stories were reportedly engineered by Stone).

According to Daniel Weinstock, a professor at the Faculty of Law at McGill University and an expert on interfaith relations and religious minorities' issues in Canada and Quebec, the looping echo chamber of politics and media—mainstream, social, and fake—swirling around the Muslim community created the environment in which this kind of shooting could occur.

"Echo chamber": An environment, especially on a social media site, in which any statement of opinion is likely to be greeted with approval because it will only be read or heard by people who hold similar views "Gig economy": An economy in which there are few permanent employees and most jobs are assigned to temporary or freelance workers.

A recent in-depth Wired article articulated that, far from being a left-wing echo chamber, Google's freewheeling culture has long generated robust and often fractious internal debate about just about everything the company does, perhaps explaining the string of self-declared conservative warriors who have been spilling out of the company in more ways than one.

The echo chamber that infuses all in Washington and the various power hallways forgets the basics of what used to be taught to every young reporter: Do not put yourself in the story, get the name of the dog — in other words, look and embrace the details — and if you see a man digging a hole, find out why.

Their tendency will be to make policy according to jingoistic shibboleths and to turn the council into a kind of ideological echo chamber, issuing decrees and leaving them to be carried out by operational actors — mainly the State Department, service branches and law enforcement agencies — insufficiently consulted about the advisability of a given course of action.

So in asking whether we're at the cusp of a progressive version of the tea party movement, the question is whether Democrats can organize themselves effectively without the same media echo chamber the tea party had, and whether elements of the Democratic establishment will, as the GOP did, embrace and harness the grass-roots anti-Trump fervor into electoral success.

When Liberals worried aloud about the rise of Donald Trump during the sort of echo-chamber dinner parties that cried out for mischief, it was always too tempting to lean forward in my chair, mutter something about the Kardashians, reality TV and how the political rise of a loud-mouthed show-off seemed the most natural thing in the world.

Mr. Trump is not just spending heavily on advertising — he has dozens of Facebook ads currently running that cite the "baseless attacks" from Democrats on impeachment — he is also benefiting from a conservative media echo chamber that amplifies his message and a meme factory of MAGA ("Make America Great Again") supporters cranking out content in hopes of a presidential retweet.

He has emerged from a political system corrupted by money, locked in an echo chamber of insults, reduced to the show business of an endless campaign, blocked by a kind of partisanship run amok that leads Republican members of Congress to declare they will not meet with President Obama's eventual nominee for the Supreme Court, let alone listen to him or her.

"I don't want to say it's the only force, because there was Holocaust denialism before the internet — there was even AIDS denialism before the internet — but it's an enormous, enormous force: the most effective echo chamber in the history of mankind," said Michael Specter, a staff writer for The New Yorker who is the author of the 2009 book "Denialism," about irrational thinking.

"Devil's Bargain," a new book about the Bannon-Trump linkup that gives Mr. Trump second billing, credits Mr. Bannon as one of the first conservatives to recognize that attacks on Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation's courting of foreign leaders and wealthy elites wouldn't stick unless they resonated beyond the right-wing echo chamber, a feat he helped accomplish in 2016.

Here is NBC's full story about the interview... How the echo chamber works Newly released messages show Parnas texting with Joseph Ahearn of the pro-Trump America First Action PAC... In March 2019, when Ahearn asked "what should I send don to tweet," apparently meaning Donald Trump Jr., Parnas sent links from Hannity, Laura Ingraham, The Hill, The Daily Wire, and other outlets.

And it is made yet more difficult by the lingering haze of talking-point narratives with which the Obama White House peddled this deal to the media, orchestrating the deal's praises via the "echo chamber" bragged up early last year to the New York Times magazine by Obama's former chief fabulist and deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, Ben Rhodes.

Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads In these times of stridency and shrillness, how are works of art that speak with the softness of rustling chiffon in an overheated parlor ever to be heard amid a din of protest, propaganda, real news, fake news, politics-as-spectacle, or the staged, self-serving confessionals-as-entertainment that have become a mainstay of the media's mind-numbing echo chamber?

And whether we want to talk about trolls, or we want to talk about sort of bots and cyborgs, or whatever the causality there, social media has become really this echo chamber where the things we hear from the top really reverberate and they resonate with parts of the community that, again, white supremacists, it isn't that they haven't been around, they've always been around.

Our country's militaristic roots have formed a kind of echo chamber, and these days the prominence and pitch of gun violence in everyday US society has increased to terrifying levels over the past half-century, manifesting in more-than daily mass shootings in 2019, including numerous school shootings, and increasingly, armed border militias spurred by propagandist right-wing media outlets to undertake vigilante-style human rights violations.

It's titled "Google's Ideological Echo Chamber: How bias clouds our thinking about diversity and inclusion," and it tries to cover a lot of ground very quickly: biases in Google's political culture, differences between men's and women's aptitude for and interest in engineering and executive-class jobs, the promise and perils of diversity programs, the differing moral foundations of left- and right-wing political views, and so on.

Perhaps. But instead of this wringing of hands and attempts to undermine the will of the people that Mr. Blow's column exemplifies, pull yourself together and do something constructive: Look in the mirror, get out of that liberal echo chamber that you've been living in, listen to what people who don't think exactly like you are saying, and use it to start working toward the next election.

In the interview, Stephens bemoans the way that "too much of the Republican Party became an echo chamber of itself": If you spend your time listening to certain cable shows all the time, listening to nobody else, if you're prone to the kind of conspiracy theories that whiz around on Twitter or certain fringes of the internet, you end up having this kind of conversation that's just increasingly divorced from reality.

In spite of Trump's avowed distaste for the nuclear deal with Iran — the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — Obama's 'echo chamber' is still reverberating with no shortage of 'experts' taking to the web to claim that the re-negotiation is impossible and tearing it up would have a range of consequences from a more rapidly nuclear-armed Iran to international distrust in the U.S.' future deal-making.

One could argue that there's a discussion to be had about Hill's comments, one that goes beyond just what was said but also addresses race, politics, and the way Trump has stoked those fires since he announced his candidacy with comments about Mexico sending "rapists" to the U.S. But this is 22017 so it's all devolved into a chaotic echo chamber of name-calling and the further dumbing down of discourse.

Rhodes undermined Israeli concerns about Iran's threat of destroying Israel, insulted Israel's prime minister, and used the "echo chamber" to lie to the American people about the nuclear deal and justify the reversal of decades of U.S. policy supporting Israel at the U.N. The gravest sin he committed, however, which disqualifies him for any association with the Holocaust Memorial Museum, is his complicity in the genocide in Syria.

Dossier compiler and former British spy Christopher Steele, who also lied to the FBI about his press contacts, and Simpson apparently created a massive echo chamber involving the State Department, the CIA, politicians such as Reid and McCain, and the FBI — through the undisclosed relationship with Ohr's wife — to spread what was all the same information, from the same unverified sources, as though it was coming in from all over.

Some music – the sort that feels like it's washing over you, giving you kind of a sonic bath – lends itself better to this activity than others (my number one 'lying there' song is "Cloudbusting" by Kate Bush, because it's so bright and vast), and now, with "Desert Horse," the new track from Melody's Echo Chamber, it looks like I'll be making an addition to this very specific playlist.

Read: The world ignored these many warnings and allowed Aleppo to become a humanitarian disaster What we discovered was a controlled echo chamber of sorts: Though Assad has been sharply condemned by the international community for his military's persistent war crimes and human rights abuses (including its torture of women and children) it's almost impossible to find a single word of criticism about his rule in the areas he controls.

Throughout the film, Carrey's character mimics and quotes loads of film and television characters, and in 1996 it might've been harder to imagine someone with such a narrow view of the world that they could only communicate through mimicking onscreen characters—but in 2018, the echo chamber of social media coupled with a televised 24-hour news cycle means that people simply repeating what they've heard is commonplace.

In a sense it's a lo-fi, but ambitious and multi genre-referencing work (Craig name-checks bands like The Modern Lovers, Frankie Cosmos, the Buzzcocks, Broadcast, and Melody's Echo Chamber) that alternately goes big and small: "I wanted there to be more intimate moments so we included some demos that I made last minute that would probably never have seen the light of day otherwise," he says of Fantasy du Jour's quieter moments.

It took a long time and even a court battle to find out that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the Fusion GPS dossier, a fact that was disclosed only after the damage was done, as former British spy and the dossier's compiler, Christopher Steele, had already created a vast echo chamber as though the material he was peddling had been verified in some way, which of course, it never was.

As Brian Stelter has argued on CNN, Trump and the conservative media have perfected echo chamber politics, whereby the multiple charges about the investigation -- that FBI agents were out to systematically bring down this presidency, that the agency is damaged by rampant conflict of interest problems, that Mueller is illegally obtaining information about the transition -- have moved to the forefront of the national conversation regardless of the veracity or relevance of any of these claims.

There are so many different ways Facebook and the other platforms were involved in the election — other than Russian ads, there was the threat of "fake news" (some of which may have been produced by Russians, some by pranksters), and then there was the echo-chamber effect (where everything you see reinforces your beliefs), and on top of that, there are the many ways that Facebook worked with campaigns themselves to target voters.

Following the familiar pattern of a classic "whodunit," Fatwa articulates the complex social issues that contribute to radicalization in a manner that is rather bleak: a cloistered culture of toxic masculinity that produces an echo chamber of violent ideas; the desire to control women and their bodies in the guise of spiritual righteousness; and the opportunism of agitators who see an opening to preach hate and gain power in a society still reeling from the effects of political upheaval.

I am also pretty left, and—though it's really lovely to talk about the perks of socialism for ages with an older, wiser person until you feel like the world will inevitably be beautiful very soon, honest—the last thing anyone needs right now is another frothy interview between two people who agree on everything; both shaking their fists at modern Britain and shouting into an echo chamber of self-satisfaction and sickly sweet confirmation bias.

The biggest worry is that we drift into what Neil Postman called a technocracy, a dystopian world where these companies are bigger, more powerful, wealthier than governments, and they're run by people who have drunk the Kool-Aid, who believe they're correct, who live in our echo chamber culture and who confuse the public and the private good as I think somebody like Mark Zuckerberg does and believes that whatever is in their interest and the interest of their company is in the interests of the world.

But the original post also hedges on the likelihood of the events actually taking place, a sentiment the author echoed in a Facebook chat with Motherboard, writing: FEMA, for its part, has called all of this a load of nonsense, telling Motherboard in a lengthy emailed statement: It's unlikely to be a satisfactory answer for the denizens of /r/conspiracy and the wider Alex Jones echo chamber, but with less than seven hours to midnight, the truth about 4/26 will be known soon enough.

And then you add to that these devices that we're all so addicted to, and you source on your device ... You decide what comes in, and it comes in from your circle, and so what do we do to get outside of that small little echo chamber that is getting tighter and tighter and tighter, and actually talk to people with whom we disagree, with whom we have different life experiences, and actually hear them and empathize with them and try to imagine what life for them is like?

Silicon Valley was caught flat-footed and open-mouthed in the wake of a traumatizing election season Even if they had expressed these thoughts beforehand, it still might not have mattered: Silicon Valley was, and still is, in its own echo chamber, caught flat-footed and open-mouthed in the wake of a traumatizing election season; building cool new products for people every day but having underestimated the extent to which people were willing to vote for a productized presidential candidate, one who at some level rejects their techno-utopianism.

Damore also reiterated his criticism of the media, saying he was wrongly depicted as "anti-diversity/misogynist" : He also repeated his idea that minorities are getting preferential treatment at Google during the hiring process: And condemned the "ideological echo chamber and the dangers of the authoritarian leftist policies": Damore candidly admitted ignorance "about many of people's past and political positions and that's a weakness of mine", which is why he asked Mike Cernovich, prominent alt-right commentator, to tweet out the "Goolag" shirt: Finally, the ex-Googler started a passionate discussion on whether women are good at chess (really): Someone here is desperately looking for a platform.

It's the latter connection that sticks, because it underlines how many Americans have secreted themselves in an airtight echo chamber where they only interact with people who believe what they believe, to the extent that the existence of people outside that circle begins to feel like a myth — kind of like "The Village," where Bernie Sanders voters or people who hated "Man of Steel" become Those We Don't Speak Of. It's hard to confront the possibility that a movie you've anticipated for years might be a letdown — so hard, in fact, that some people would sooner convince themselves it's great, no matter how much actual movie they have to overlook in the process.

In covering the New York Mets' run through the last postseason, I kept notes on all the different ways I heard people say "Let's Go Mets," beyond the familiar communal chant, and while I won't subject you to the extra "e"'s and italics-connoting-emphasis, I can say that there were many—that it was woofed as a drunken challenge to out-of-towners and swapped sotto voce in retail situations as a substitute for "have a nice day" and that it erupted tunelessly and from the very bottom of otherwise normal-looking people at seemingly random moments, normal people just screaming it into the concrete echo chamber of the Willets Point subway station or the night sky as a sort of primal scream.

It was an exercise, special operations, in Texas and several other Southern states that Russian bots and the outright media, and here's a really important aspect, there is a powerful echo chamber between what the Russians say and outright media in the United States, created such concern in the state of Texas that the Governor of Texas had to call out the state guard, which is kind of a volunteer organization, to watch the feds because the stories that were circulating in Texas was this was an attempt by the Obama administration to round up political opponents, up to and including abandoned Walmarts being used as concentration camps and boxcars transiting the state with leg irons on the floor. Right.
