Unpacking media bias in the growing divide between cable and network news by Homa Hosseinmardi, Samuel Wolken, David M. Rothschild, Duncan J. Watts

“…Abstract The potential for a large, diverse population to coexist peacefully is thought to depend on the existence of a public sphere in which citizens are exposed to similar facts about similar topics. A generation ago, broadcast television news was widely considered to serve this function; however, since the rise of cable news in the 1990s, critics and scholars have worried that the corresponding fragmentation and segregation of audiences has caused this baseline of common understanding to be lost. …”
