“There is a strong correlation between news consumption and voter propensity. People who are superusers of news are very likely voters. And people who consume lots of news from ideologically aligned outlets are, no surprise, overwhelmingly of the same political alignment. … almost all of the people who are engaged in this election to the point that they are paying to read about it or posting on social media about it have their minds very much made up. They’re looking for confirmation of their own views, yes, but also they’re just deeply invested in the outcome. And yet, each cycle, we are treated to arguments over the power of the media to shape voter preferences.” (08/27/24)
