Agreed that the argument "overprotection leads to lack of free speech in academia" is tenuous. That said, I do wonder if we all _are_ being protected from opposing views these days. Like, we come across the opposing views but usually in a filtered / characature form on Social Media/Fox News/MSNBC. It's actually kinda hard to find stuff without spin in my experience. EDIT My hypothesis is that's it's just cheaper to create speculative / opinion based journalism rather than real investigation. Since the former gets enough clicks, there's not a strong financial reason to create good journalism.

It's always been hard to find things without spin. The only difference now is the range of different spin styles available. Every niche worldview has an online community.

  And then we've come half-cycle into the exact opposite fact from the one on the post that created this thread. All it too was 3 comments. I wonder what is really happening, because both statements sound true to me.
