THE POLARIZATION OF THE MEDIA AND SOCIETY

THE POLARIZATION OF THE MEDIA AND SOCIETY

By Bernard Bujold -

This Thursday, April 29, 2021, Le Devoir published the first of a series of articles on the polarization of the media and society. We can summarize by saying that it is an impossible challenge to rally a society, especially in 2021 with the numerous means of communication available to all. Whether one loves a Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau, François Legault, Horacio Arruda or a Valérie Plante; there is another half that hates him just as deeply as the half that loves him. The worst thing about polarization is that people only believe the texts that confirm their opinions... 

Unfortunately, the texts in Le Devoir do not offer the solution to end polarization. https://www.ledevoir.com/societe/599739/societe-sommes-nous-plus-divises-que-jamais
