Where Americans get their news: New data from Pew Research
Digital sources continue to grow while everything else shrinks but there are still some surprises.
A massive 86% of Americans get their news from smartphones, tablets or computers at least some of the time, according to new data released by Pew Research. Thats a 4% increase since last year.
Additionally, Americans prefer to get their news from digital sources. The numbers are smaller, with 58% choosing apps and websites over any other kind of news. Just 27% tap TV as their first pick but even those numbers are generous compared to the dismal 6% who prefer radio and 5% who prefer print.

Readers are leaders. Which is why billionaires bankroll conservative politicians who promise to eliminate the federal Department of Education and de-fund public education in the 50 states and however many territories the nation colonizes.

Maybe it's because the mainstream media is more aligned with big oil than it is with progressive politics?
