One trend that I think will emerge as the menu of information sources grows larger - in fact we're seeing it already - is that more and more people will simply seek out "news" sources that tell them what they want to hear, instead of looking for challenges that might lead them to rethink some opinions. This, I suspect, will only exacerbate the polarization that we are seeing now. Yes, I think that's been one of the dangers of the Internet from the start. You can roll your own "news" and never read anything that contradicts your views of things. Not unlike gated communities.
