Watching liberal talk shows or commentators is an experience where I can listen from at least three different perspectives. I can listen as myself with no extra considerations and acknowledge where I agree or disagree with the content. I can listen as if I am one of my own friends and consider how someone with similar but not exactly the same views as my own would hear it, and consider whether they find the content more or less convincing. I can listen as if I am a conservative or someone with very different views and culture from my own, and wonder if this content appeals to them in any way.
