How much fragmentation is there among television news audiences? When looking at polls on political issues given by the major news coorperations it would look like there is hardly any fragmentation among the American people concerning the debates of today. WRONG! It is common knowledge that FOX=conservative and CNN=liberal. If people have conservative political views they are going to watch FOX, if they have liberal views they are going to watch CNN. Therefore they are going to take polls from their respective news source. There will be more shared opinions among the viewers of each station. For example, majority of FOX viewers will have a negative opinion of the new healthcare bill while the majority of CNN viewers will share positive opinions of the healthcare bill. Clearly politics drive which station the audience views and those politics cause fragmention among the American audience in its entirity.
