Pew reporting:
When it comes to getting news about politics and government, liberals
and conservatives inhabit different worlds. There is little overlap in
the news sources they turn to and trust. And whether discussing politics
online or with friends, they are more likely than others to interact
with like-minded individuals, according to a new Pew Research Center
study.
The project – part of a year-long effort to shed light on political polarization in America
– looks at the ways people get information about government and
politics in three different settings: the news media, social media and
the way people talk about politics with friends and family. In all three
areas, the study finds that those with the most consistent ideological
views on the left and right have information streams that are distinct
from those of individuals with more mixed political views – and very
distinct from each other....
