Teri_Kanefield, 21 days ago @MoiraEve They become less informed because they are seeing all events through a partisan lens. IOW, they are being presented with a distortion of the world. Let's do a scale of 1 - 10. 10: Consumes lots of actual factual news. 5: Consumes no news. 1: Consumes something that is called news but offers a distortion of the world. Who is worse off? The person at point 5 or the person at point 1? I suggest that person 5 can be easily educated with a few facts. 1 is a lost cause.
