Another study...
 
....that demonstrates how right-wing media promotes hate:


A study by the UCLA Chicano Research Studies Research Center
indicates that conservative talk shows and talk radio shows cause social
media reverberations that promote hate speech towards minorities, women,
and basically anyone who isn’t a white male. The study summary is as
follows:

This study analyzes how social networks that form around the hosts
of commercial talk radio shows can propagate messages targeting
vulnerable groups. Working with recorded broadcasts from five shows
gathered over a six-week period, involving 102 scheduled guests and
covering 88 topics, researchers determined hosts’ and guests’
ideological alignment on the topics discussed most frequently—including
immigration and terrorism—through a content analysis of on-air
statements and website content. The findings reveal that the hosts
promoted an insular discourse that focused on, for example,
anti-immigration, anti-Islam, and pro-Tea Party positions and that this
discourse found repetition and amplification through social media. Of
the 21 guests who appeared more than once, media personalities (57
percent) and political figures (19 percent) accounted for 76 percent.
Fox News accounted for nearly one-fourth (24 percent) of appearances by
guests representing an organization. Political figures accounted for 27
percent of all guests, and the Republican Party and the Tea Party
accounted for 93 percent and 89 percent, respectively, of all political
figures appearing on the shows. Eighty-nine percent of the scheduled
guests were white, and 81 percent were male.

I'm a liberal because the militant fundamentalist ignorant
science-denying religious xenophobic corporate oligarchy of modern
Republican conservatism just doesn't work for me or my country.
