That's an interesting prediction.  Maybe I will, maybe I won't.  I enjoy the NY Times.  I don't agree with their editorials, and I see that they come at things from a left of center point of view, and that infects their news coverage sometimes, but there is so much interesting content they put out that has nothing to do with politics, that you won't see anywhere else.  And most other publications are so dumbed down in order to get readers, they are very boring and worthless.  

Besides, do you really want to cut yourself off from ever reading any opinions that conflict with yours?  I don't.  I think I have the ability to read opinion pieces that I disagree with without becoming infected somehow.  Aren't you interested in how other people think?  Left wingers are not always wrong, just like right wingers are not always wrong.
