How Mass Media Influences U.S. Political Polarization— A Comparison Study of CNN and Fox News
School of English and International Studies, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Beijing, China, 100089
This paper presents a study on how mass media, specifically CNN and Fox News, have influenced the polarization of American politics concerning environmental policies. The study used a qualitative approach to analyze the content of CNN and Fox News broadcasts related to environmental policies. The results show that CNN and Fox News have significantly contributed to the polarization of American politics, especially on issues related to public policy. While CNN emphasizes the need for environmental protection and regulation, Fox News focuses on the economic consequences of such regulations. These differing views have influenced the political attitudes of viewers and created a divide among the American public on environmental policies.
