Media consumption defines our beliefs


Britain’s Guardian newspaper claims that American consumers of conservative news such Fox News distrust climate scientist and don’t believe the planet is warming.

The story, headed: “Fox News found to be major driving force behind global warming denial”, said media consumption shaped views about climate change.

It argued that the consumption of conservative media, such a Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, decreased trust in climatologists and the belief in global warming.

The reverse, the survey found, was also the case.
