    Michael Tracey Retweeted Arthur Brooks

    An even smaller segment of the population (something like .001%) decides what political information gets transmitted on cable news and national newspapers. So if you rely on "ersatz pundits" filtered through that cloistered system, you're even worse offhttps://twitter.com/arthurbrooks/status/1155485105948889088 …

    Arthur BrooksVerified account @arthurbrooks
    Only 22 percent of U.S. adults are on Twitter, and 80 percent of the tweets come from 10 percent of users. If you rely on Twitter for political information, you are being informed by ersatz pundits residing within 2.2 percent of the population. https://buff.ly/2YaPQnj

        Twitter is way more representative of real life that whatever happens on the cable nets.

        Like me, there are many twitter users who are not from, or in the US. So at the very least, you will get different perspectives of a story.

        Robert Dahl was right about only one thing. Few people are thoroughly invested in politics. Where he might be wrong: he thought this made American democracy less prone to ideological extremism. We shall see.

        I follow people on Twitter from other platforms. I don't see the relevance of the statistics. Unless you want to gather the statistics from all social media platforms otherwise the statistics don't hold water with me. Also the small portion reside inside the larger society.
