Abstract
The proliferation of satellite news and the explosion of mediums of news consumption have created an environment where most viewers can tune into a broadcaster that describes news in ways they find to be culturally, politically, and ideologically agreeable. As a result, news broadcasters today are more likely to harden existing opinions and attitudes, encourage stereotypical thinking of cultural “others,” create ideological disharmony among their audiences, and lead to increasingly isolated public spheres.1
