Abstract: A sample (N = 370) of adult subscribers to an online news program reported their receptiveness to opposing views and political orientation (political identification, attitude polarization, and political knowledge). Higher levels of attitude polarization and Blue (liberal-democrat) political identification were associated with significantly lower receptiveness to opposing views.
