Conservative media fuels support for US Capitol insurrection, study finds.
The article explores how people's political beliefs, views on protesting, authoritarian tendencies, and news habits influence their support for the US Capitol insurrection. Conservative media tends to increase support for the movement, while left-leaning or mainstream media impact depends on political affiliation. Authoritarianism is linked to backing the movement and seeing police actions as too harsh. The study suggests that consuming conservative media and receiving cues from political leaders can legitimize insurrectionist movements, even for those who typically oppose protests.
