What happened when I eliminated political dissent from my Facebook feed

I normally refrain from posting political content on social media, but in the aftermath of the San Bernardino shooting last December I shared a video on Facebook. It was too disturbing not to. Dana Loesch, a conservative radio host, narrates the video, which appeared on the National Rifle Association's news site.

"Researchers also found that 'liberals tend to be connected to fewer friends who share conservative content than conservatives who tend to be linked to more friends who share liberal content.' No wonder I found my classmate's dissenting view so odd.

Wherever you are in the world, chances are there are some vocal people talking politics in your social media feeds.

Any thoughts on echochambers, seeking out those who are like-minded and culling the old school friends from your Facebook feeds who have differing opinions?
