Debating the Nolan Show (and wider media) and its role in our political discourse

This is a really interesting exchange between Stephen Nolan and Professor Brian Walker this morning which is worth listening to in full.
I have often debated this myself with other people in the media more generally. Are platforms, including Slugger part of the problem in a divided society?
This is something I know people do ask themselves. Am I making the right calls? Am I just pandering in some respects to an instinct?
Is there more we can do? Or is it our role to do anything?
Since it’s Friday, I thought this would be appropriate to throw it open to you for you thoughts.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
