Chatting About My Echo Chamber

Me: I wonder why you speak with such certainty about Air America Radio’s being doomed from the start, when so many of its on-air stars went on to earn top ratings, Rachael Maddow in particular. One would think with such a stellar team the company had a chance. Aren’t you just applying the 20–20 vision of hindsight?

Other: Actually, I thought that AA would fail from the start. I couldn’t imagine anyone tuning in day after day.

I’m a bit mystified by Maddow’s success. Her “getting sent to camp” rant in 2017 was clearly irrational. I cannot imagine why any rational adult would ever take someone like that seriously. Did you see that? Can you explain her behavior? [video link below]

Her success is a testimony to the irrationality of large swaths of America. If Rachel wants to go to camp, she’ll have to pay her own tuition. She will also have to buy her own craft supplies. 😁

Me: I’ve sampled Alex Jones of course but wouldn’t call myself a loyal fan by any means. I’ve probably listened to Limbaugh about four or five times in these last few decades.

I couldn’t possibly be an Alex Jones fan, as I consider myself a “globalist” and he’s always railing against globalists right? The spin I put on that word…
