Klappentext We live in an age of media saturation! where with a few clicks of the remote - or mouse - we can tune in to programming where the facts fit our ideological predispositions.

"Kevin Arceneaux and Martin Johnson debunk conventional wisdom concerning the divisive effects of cable programming by showing that the availability of consumer choice dampens the effects of exposure to partisan news sources on a variety of beliefs and attitudes. Changing Minds or Changing Channels? will have a significant impact on research in American politics and political communication for years to come."
