Right-leaning media users are less likely to support political compromise, a new study suggests. And in general, partisan media consumers tend to see political disagreements as right or wrong.

Wisconsin isn’t as trusting as it used to be—and political polarization is a reason why. I spoke with Wisconsin Public Radio about why social trust matters and how we can rebuild it through real connection and respect. Read more: www.wpr.org/news/surveys...
Surveys show we trust each other less. Is Wisconsin less ‘Midwest nice’?
New data from Pew shows that people don’t trust each other as much as they used to, and Wisconsin is falling behind trust levels compared to other parts of the country.
