This. Media fragmentation has both good and bad sides. The upside is that nearly anyone, regardless of demo, can find something enjoyable to consume for pleasure.


The obvious downside is that people can now selectively choose the "news" they wish to consume, too. There is no middle anymore that everyone is more or less forced to acknowledge. Sure, many consume what is best categorized as corporate infotainment which covers sports, weather and lots of celebrity news, none of which really qualifies as actual news (but it's cheap to cover and doesn't rile the advertisers). 


Any real news that happens to make it into such outlets is weighted heavily towards the U.S., and is biased for the U.S., besides - some hosts even wearing flag lapels and the like.


But even worse, some actively choose to consume the likes of Alex, Faux, Rush and Breitbart. These people are virtually unreachable by reality.
