I don't really remember a time before the internet became widespread. With an internet connection you can access a wide variety of sources. I don't really think that the internet really made people have a wider access to information, but instead made it easier for people to choose sources that were closer to their ideological convictions. People choosing their sources has really perpetrated polarization and has made it harder to talk to other groups because they speak their own lingo. It feels kind of isolating because you haven't read the same kind of news as the other person. Honest political conversation is kind of hard since there isn't a shared set of sources. It doesn't help that profit makes the news make the most sensationalistic as possible stories.
