Our job in the media is to capture reality so that when reality voices itself, like last night, people aren’t surprised. Pretty massive failure. We still are not good at capturing the rightward half of the country.
@nytdavidbrooks We need to confront a good portion of this country is fed misinformation and extremely racist.
@RicoSuaveJD @nytdavidbrooks Jonathan Haidt was right-- the left doesn't understand the right, and their critical failure is they are so convinced of their own moral superiority they never will.
@QED76 @RicoSuaveJD @nytdavidbrooks TBH, it seems mostly Objective vs Subjective, and which takes primacy in one's worldview. You can't shift their view with obj facts if those facts can't shift how they subj feel. It's a defense mechanism of indoctrination. Inoculation against reason and proper self reflection.
@QED76 @RicoSuaveJD @nytdavidbrooks Isn't that also the critical failure of the right? Is the right not convinced of its moral superiority? (That also follows from Haidt's work.)
