Study: Social Media Bubbles Might Not Be Making Us More Polarized After All
After Donald Trump’s stunning electoral victory, lots of people wondered how, exactly, this had all happened. One possible solution, it seemed, was that everyone was trapped in an information bubble of their own making — numerous articles alleged that self-segregated social media feeds had become an echo chamber for people’s own thoughts and beliefs.

Biden camp thinks the media just doesn’t get it
The vice president’s allies say neither detractors in the media, nor his rivals on the stump, understand the root of his appeal.
The first thing you notice at a Joe Biden event is the age: Many of the reporters covering him are really young. Biden is not. The press corps, or so the Biden campaign sees it, is culturally liberal and highly attuned to modern issues around race and gender

It’s a word you heard twice in Bernie Sanders’s and Beto O’Rourke’s announcement speeches, nine times in Cory Booker’s, 21 times in Kirsten Gillibrand’s, 23 times in Kamala Harris’s, and 25 times in Elizabeth Warren’s.
That word? “Fight.”

Sanders Says It’s Clinton’s Responsibility To Bring His Supporters Into The Fold
Ending a presidential primary is often a bitter affair. But with rare exceptions, the party’s factions usually come together. That seems likely to be the case again this year with the Democrats, even as the contest drags out longer — and grows a bit more contentious — than many party members find comfortable.
On Sunday morning, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) reiterated his long-standing
