Are you assuming that people don't diversify from where they get their information?
I don't trust media re: politics the way I don't really trust them re: gossip-they feed us what is assumed we want to hear and many times resort to bandwagon leaping.
The case I pointed out earlier-Palin's wardrobe spending vs. Michelle Obama's food choices-isn't the best case but it's the example that came to me first. WSay too big a deal was made about clothes-Palin spends so much, but Obama looks great in her $100 dress. Big Whoop....
My primary media sources are newspaper and news radio because I tire of talking heads too easily. Then if I hear or see something touched on that I want to know more about, I google it.
Even suggesting that some people (not me "in particular") don't diversify where they get their information and thusly form their views, is, to me, just as narrow-minded as the suggestion itself; assuming an ignorance in others is intellectual snobbery.
