Abstract
The research from this study identifies the partisan nature of filter bubbles on Twitter and considers the subsequent impact on those caught in these content loops. The study establishes the aforementioned baseline of partisanism in both major political parties in the United States by analyzing the Twitter feeds of eight accounts with previously identified rigid political party alignments.
