Quanto mais os norte-americanos têm acesso a fluxos ininterruptos de informação, mais se mostram alheados das questões políticas.
Este efeito paradoxal é objecto de análise num interessante artigo, publicado no Washington Post, por Markus Prior, professor de política na Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School.
O ponto de partida do professor e autor do livro Post-Broadcast Democracy: How Media Choice Increases Inequality in Political Involvement and Polarizes Elections é este:
«Greater access to media, ironically, has reduced the share of Americans who are politically informed. The most significant effect of more media choice is not the wider dissemination of political news but mounting inequality in political involvement. Some people follow news more closely than in the past, but many others avoid it altogether.»
