Study: Americans choose media messages that agree with their views
 A new OSU study provides some of the strongest evidence to date that Americans prefer to read political articles that agree with the opinions they already hold. Researchers found that people spent 36 percent more time reading articles that agreed with their point of view than they did reading text that challenged their opinions. Results of the study, conducted by Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, associate professor of communication and Jingbo Meng, a former master’s degree student, appear in the June 2009 issue of the journal Communication Research.
