      Do you think it’s vastly different with Democrat voters?

      By the way, the fact that they separate out the broadcast channels like that is fairly disingenuous.

        probably. The age gap probably means the tv is a lot lower and internet a lot higher.

          I would have thought that maybe family/friends would have been a bit higher. At least higher than newspapers.

                I love how they lump Fox, Newsmax and OAN together. I mean, it's not like they had a predetermined result. Right? RIGHT?

                        I think it’s interesting and pretty obvious to break out right leaning news networks from left. I’m kinda surprised you guys are getting so defensive.

                          Well, you claimed it was interesting. Maybe you can explain what's interesting about it? There certainly is nothing interesting about older people consuming older styles of media. There's nothing interesting about GOP primary voters tending to consume GOP friendly media. Those uninteresting facts, imply the statistics in the tweet.

                          Education is extremely important.

                            I would have thought social media would have been higher and tv lower. I was surprised at the relative strength of left leaning tv vs right. (There’s no way a similar percentage of dem primary voters would get their news from fox et al).

                            I didn’t find it damning. I found it interesting. Hence my surprise at the reaction

                              It’s also worth noting that reliable primary voters are older than registered party members. So these numbers would always skew ‘old’, for both parties.

                                    It's unfair that sometimes people assume jon is sneering at the GOP. In reality, it may have been upwards of 45 seconds since the last time he sneered at the GOP.

                                        Maybe tell Donald Trump's supporters. Apparently he thinks they're great.
