Julian Zelizer : Algorithms have fundamentally transformed the way we consume news and information.

He says the only way to fix America is to fix the algorithms that broke it.

Tech companies need to fundamentally reimagine their algorithms’ role in our democracy, Zelizer says.

The technology that that divided us can be redesigned with a few code codes to bring us together.

It’s clear that someone like Elon Musk has no interest in that, but others, like Mark Zuckerberg , Evan Spiegel of Snapchat, and Neal Mohan of YouTube , might. Because, while we may disagree on policies and politicians, surely we can agree on this: A democracy cannot function when its citizens no longer share a basic understanding of reality..
