They’re not lying
Yes, I feel like politicians and journalists are in echo chambers. I've also theorized that politicians are getting their information from pollsters or political informants who are also in echo chambers. I feel as if politicians have a skewed version of what the people want because when they get information from political focus groups, 1) people may not be honest with pressure to conform, and 2) the person studying the group and writing the report may have a bias.
Politicians and journalists spend most or all of their time in those bubbles and seemingly have no idea what other people think or do.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
C.S. Lewis
