Two recent major studies show how the consumption of, and trust in, American news outlets is dangerously polarised - Europe should take note, warns Christian Christensen

But Europe already took note... and then copied them meticously to produce a massive shift to the right to weaken social programs, privacy rights, environmental protections and human rights in the name of fabricated immigration issues (read: actively sabotaging integration then flooding everything with xenophobic bs -with some culture war non-sense sprinkled on top- to divert from their looting and pillaging...).
In my experience that massively depends on the country: some countries such as the UK are as bad as the US when it comes to a captured Press who pride themselves on being "Opinion Makers" - which gets reflected on how much the locals trust the local press (at least some years ago it was the least trusted in all of Europe) - whilst in other countries the Press is a lot less polarized and has far fewer newspapers and TV channels which dedicate to "opinion forming".
My own experience moving from Britain back to Portugal was like night and day when it comes to Press Independence.
Not to say that Press in the latter is this utopia of truly independent and professional Journalism, it's just way less propagandistic and biased that in the UK and here some newspapers actually *gasp* try and be independent and have Journalistic Integrity (whilst in the UK pretty much only the satirical magazine Private Eye is a "no sacred cows" publication that speaks truth to power)
