Internet news has always been unregulated. So people who mostly use online news are even more polarized? My far right wing coworker only reads Drudge Report and Real Clear Politics, and honestly the awful shit they cherrypick would make me hate the Dems too.

Exactly, and with the amount of niche corners you can find an echo chamber that fits you perfectly.

I've never known Real Clear Politics to be particularly partisan.

edit: why do some have that impression?
