Chapter 1 discusses the history or rise of irony (liberal political satire) and outrage (conservative political talk/opinion programs) while Chapter 2 details the history of how changes in media technology, media policies, and political polarization contributed to a new wave of irony and outrage.
For this post, I would like you to pick one of the historical moments or changes media technology, media policies, and political polarization that you think is most strongly responsible for the rise of irony and outrage as separate media preferences for liberals versus conservatives, respectively. Yes, all these moments and changes were important, but after doing the readings, I want you to make an argument for why one might be particularly important compared to the others. You may want to do a little more digging (find additional sources) to support your argument.
