journalism. He implicitly concludes that opinionated media is replacing objectivity

and this is a problem. The author relies on public polling data, historical facts, and

expert opinions to support his argument.

Science, 57, 611-623. doi:10.1111/ajps.12008

The author frames the issue as a question of why partisan media polarizes viewers.

He concludes that partisan media makes ideologically extreme consumers even more

extreme, and this small but active population contributes to political gridlock. The

author primarily relies on the findings of his own experiment to support his argument,

in addition to some general theories on human behavior.
