True, people may not be better informed, but they may be less ill-informed, because with so many alternatives now, they’re simply abandoning the traditional MSM.
As Thomas Jefferson said, “The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”
Good point about MSM. The reason you had such a significant % of Bernie supporters and actually anti-Hillary voices is because that is the generation who are using alternative media. I have some faith that Repubs will quit entirely seeing anything on the MSM as anything but propaganda and use other sources such as Drudge, Breibart, etc. all of which deal with the exposes of Hillary and the lies of the MSM.
There is still a generation of Dems and Soft Repubs though who still think they have to turn on the alphabet nightly news and see what the talking heads have to say on Sunday. These are the gullible ones. Unless they have developed ALT sources they’re ripe for exploitation.
