"SNIP......
A new Pew Research report finds 24% of Republicans and and 25% of Democrats consistently turned to partisan news media bubbles for their news.
Republicans who stuck to their partisan bubbles tended to be much older than those that relied on outlets with left-leaning audiences or a mix of publications. About 80% of the Republicans who stuck to their partisan bubbles were older than 50, including 44% older than 65.
Democrats who get their political news only from outlets with left-leaning audiences were more likely to be white and have college degrees. Democrats who consistently turned to outlets with mixed or right-leaning audiences were more likely to be Black (29%) or Hispanic (21%).

You have to expect every group will have some shitty people.
Overall blacks and hispanics still voted Biden in large numbers.

(21,693 posts)I heard, just today, on Right Wing talk shows, that masks don't help stop the spread of disease, that Nancy Pelosi engineered the Jan 6 assault on the Capitol, that President Biden is refusing to help Texas, that Biden's energy policies are to blame for the power failure in Texas. That was what I caught on my car radio during my weekly grocery run.
I can't think of anything I have read on this Left Wing media site (DU) today that compares to any one of those whoppers.
