In a report on the Internet and the 2010 Campaign by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 34% of online political users said that most of the political news and information they get online comes from sites that share their point of view, while 30% of online political users typically get news from sites that don’t have a point of view, and 21% who get news from sites that differ from their own point of view.

The report found that the views on this subject are related with political affiliation. Both Republicans and Democrats were more likely than political independents to say that they get online political news from sources that share their political point of view.
