Content: Humans have a surprising capability to error-correct because of the redundancy in language, so we are able to “fill in the blanks” to a surprising degree, generally beyond 20 dB according to psychological tests. It’s about half that for digital information. Setting aside active deception by CNN (or any other media), can we be sure that CNN is providing us with all the information we need? If they withhold 10% of the facts, can we still error-correct to get complete context? Well, no. Does that happen? Yes it does as a matter of policy. Since the general adoption of user tracking on the internet, every media outlet has geared their business model to the click model. The more eyeballs they attract, the more money they make, so stories follow narratives you want to hea r and avoid narratives you don’t want to hear. Consequently, we have a highly polarized media environment where folks on the Left only listen, watch and read certain media outlets, while folks on the Right patronize their preferred sources.
