— The danger of increased polarization in age of digital news – Editorial (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, the Democrat news media a) promotes hatred of Trump and b) urges voters to punish Trump by voting for Democrats in local elections.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190209/editorial-the-danger-of-increased-polarization-in-age-of-digital-news
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: The research, reported in the academic Journal of Communication, found that with fewer opportunities to learn about local politics, citizens have been more apt to apply their national partisanship to local issues. The AP reported that the research found that for the first time in a century in 2016, no state elected a senator from a different party than the one that won its presidential vote. “The voting behavior was more polarized, less likely to include split-ticket voting, if a newspaper had died in the community,” said communications professor Johanna Dunaway of Texas A&M. The local campaigns are just warming up for the April 2 election. Covering them in a suburban area as large as Chicago’s is no easy task. But we’re committed to doing so to the best of our ability. We owe it to you. As citizens, do your part. Get out to the forums to listen to the candidates. Study the issues, not just in the Daily Herald, but wherever you can find the information. We all owe it to the community.)
