'It might be hard to believe, but recent poll results revealed that the public might be getting tired of biased, one-sided news coverage.' -CWTremo
The results showed that the overwhelming majority of voters want to hear both sides of an issue in news reports. And if they actually decide to do that, it could be the beginning of the end of the political tribalism plaguing the country.A recent survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports showed that 77% of likely voters claimed that “hearing both sides of an issue is more important to them when choosing which cable news network to watch.
Perhaps the most interesting revelation from the survey was that the majority of people, regardless of their political ideology, were interested in hearing both sides of an issue. According to the poll, 71% of conservatives stated it’s more important to “hear both sides of an issue.” This sentiment was shared by 81% of respondents who identified as liberals, as well as 86% of those who claimed they were moderates.
Incidentally, male voters appeared to be more stubborn than female when it came to hearing opposing viewpoints on a news network. The survey revealed that 22% of respondents who were men said it was “more important for them to hear political commentary they agree with when choosing which network to watch the news.” Conversely, this preference was only important to 11% of women voters, according to Rasmussen.
If this tribalism is indeed deteriorating, it could mean positive things for voters in the country, as well as news coverage overall in the future.
