Virginia Tech researchers say that national news giants CNN and Fox News don't just mirror the rising political polarization in America — their increasingly partisan broadcasts are deepening the divide, especially in the digital realm of social media. The study focused on analyzing almost 300 billion words from CNN and Fox News broadcasts and approximately 133,000 tweets related to these networks from 2010 to 2020. They aimed to identify biased and inflammatory content within these national broadcasts and whether such content influenced their followers on social media platforms. The research conducted by Virginia Tech suggests that the language and content used in these network's broadcasts significantly influence how viewers engage in national debates on social platforms, contributing to the polarization of their audiences. This polarization is exacerbated by economic pressures on cable news networks to compete with web-based content, often leading to more sensational and polarized reporting. In your opinion, do you agree that CNN and Fox News deepen the divide between political parties?
Yes, both CNN and FOX News
