The Echo Chamber as a Political Weapon

by Rob Kall

This started as a letter to Wes Boyd of Moveon.org because of moveon's new Fox tracking project, but this is really about all the progressive media.

Great idea, moveon.org starting an online Fox Watch Group to track Fox news' s media bias. But Fox is only one tentacle of the right-wing policy and position promotion monster. They use an echo chamber that consists of Fox, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, local talk show hosts, the weekly standard, the right wing half of CNN

"Fascinating, eye-opening, and extraordinary, Rob Kall's Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution explores the emerging paradigm of our age -- bottom-up thinking -- connecting an enormous range of disciplines and topics from systems, chaos, and complexity theories to the evolving role of technology in our lives. Not merely a cogent exposition of contemporary thinking, however, Bottom Up extrapolates from abstract ideas to derive practical, everyday steps we can take to improve our chances of global survival, peace, and prosperity. Following Rob's lead, we can change habits as individuals to deepen our connection with others across the planet."
