Echo Chamber

Walter Savage Landor, "Demosthenes and Eubulides," Imaginary Conversations, Vol. I (London: J.M. Dent & Co., 1891), pp. 139-152 (at 151):
We listen to those whom we know to be of the same opinion as ourselves, and we call them wise for being of it; but we avoid such as differ from us: we pronounce them rash before we have heard them, and still more afterward lest we should be thought at any time to have erred.
