While some had feared that with news aggregators online we might only read news sources we agree with, it turns out that most of us get news from a variety of sources.
Unfortunately, that alone doesn't mean it will all work out. Studies have shown that once we've made up our minds, facts showing we're wrong just convince us of our righteousness even more. The fact that liberals check Fox News to gloat about their hypocrisy and conservatives read the New York Times to see what liberal horror to be outraged at doesn't solve our political problems. But it's still nice to know the internet hasn't made the problem worse. For that I blame Fox.
