NCS host Abby Phillip and former MSNBC host Joy Reid stated Tuesday that conservatives reside in their very own information bubble throughout Reid’s podcast.
Both media personalities mentioned how onerous it’s to converse with right-leaning Americans as a result of, they stated, conservatives depend on another set of “facts” in comparison with liberals.
“Look, I think that we are in this insanely siloed media ecosystem where conservatives are living in a completely different information world than liberals,” Phillip said.

Reid requested the “NCS NewsNight” anchor how she handles folks with what she described as “false” beliefs as a journalist.
“So, talk to me a little bit about kind of your take as how journalism is managing this world in which, as you said, you have large percentages of people who believe completely false things and who believe it with their full chest, and they believe it, and it’s very hard to talk them down from it,” Reid stated.
Talking about President Donald Trump’s supporters, Reid added, “And as you stated, you place them within the desk they’re simply going to say the election was stolen. There’s nothing you are able to do. How is journalism serving to?”
Phillip replied that being conversant in sure “conspiracy” theories helps her talk with conservatives.

“I mean, half my job sometimes is knowing what the latest conspiracy is. Yeah. So that if it comes up, I’m ready to address it. Because it happens a lot where people don’t even know that what they’re saying or what they’ve seen and believe is not true,” Phillip stated.
Phillip added that some conservatives who interact together with her could also be listening to the reality for the “very first time.”
“And so again, the siloing of our information landscapes is one of the biggest problems in media today,” she stated. “And it is not going to resolve all of our political problems or differences, but less siloing is better than more.”

Phillip made comparable factors throughout an interview on “Pod Save America” earlier this month, the place she accused Trump supporters of being in media silos.
“I talk to tried-and-true, dyed-in-the-wool MAGA people every single day and, so yeah, I understand where they come from,” Phillip stated. “I understand the information silos that they’re in that make it hard to see outside of it, and it’s not that complicated. I mean, I think that they like winning, and Trump is winning in their minds.”

Phillip admitted earlier within the interview that Democrats is also responsible of being closed-minded, though she argued that the Republicans’ information silo “is probably more enclosed off.”
