CMV: Political TV and radio shows are mainly for what the right and left to hear what they want to hear

If you ever listen to most right wing talking heads like Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro and so on, the rhetoric that they use isn't always the most uniting. Granted, sometimes they do try to be uniting in some ways, but I can see it hard for centrist or lefty to be able to sit down for an entire show. I don't really see someone who is on the left or uninterested in politics scrolling through YouTube, seeing a Ben Shapiro video, deciding to watch it because why not, and becoming more right wing because of the video they saw.

Also, I think this phenomenon isn't unique to right wing talk show hosts, I think it can be said of left wing media. I doubt 10% of the people who watch Rachel Maddow are Republicans.

There's a quote that I love that goes something like "human beings make decisions emotionally and rationalize them intellectually". This can be said about many topics like gun control and abortion. What does this mean for political media? It's all about confirmation bias. People like having their political opinions reinforced so they listen to talking heads that confirm what they feel.

The shows you mention are far more malicious than you give them credit for.

The idea is to tell you what you want to hear just enough to get you in the habit of agreeing with them before they start saying things you wouldn't otherwise have agreed with, and therefore to radicalize their audience.

They're a major driving force behind the increased political polarization in the US, because they're literally designed to do that as effectively as possible.
