Pew Research says the cable news you watch indicates your COVID-19 beliefs

Coverage of COVID-19 has dominated the news and resulted in skyrocketing ratings for the nation’s cable news networks. And according to a survey conducted March 10-16, 2020, as a part of Pew Research Center’s Election News Pathways project, responses to that coverage and the pandemic itself vary notably among Americans who identify Fox News, MSNBC or CNN (the three major cable news networks featured in the analysis) as their main source of political news.

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Just look at right wing media. I'll rest my case.

college graduation and the first words out of her mouth was "Our data shows a deep political division in this country." The audience moaned and laughed. Pollsters are such a waste of space

I know it’s obvious, but not everyone does. I thought maybe someone—anyone—would just find it interesting that Pew did the research and put it out there and it’s being disseminated.
