Polls show there are more liberal minded people using the internet social media sites than conservative.

I'd project that there are also more liberal and moderate users that then use the internet for their news. Such as I. I find it so much more superior as you can pick and choose which stories you want to inform yourself more about, and you can find out about now, not "after this message". We only have so much time in this busy world.

TV news has long past as an efficient way to gather your news. Its more about info-tainment. Its a spectacle where newscasters are celebrities themselves, and there is very little in-depth analysis especially on network news shows.
