The news media, by and large, if reflective of the society. However, while I hadn't really thought of it before, the rise of highly politicized radio talk shows may be in roughly the same time frame that I perceive this growth in partisanship.
But there's a lot of other stuff going on in the country at the same time (changes in social dynamics as the overall population ages, differences in demographics, ballances of ethnic groups changing, etc.) that would make it very difficult to prove.
But, not being a social scientist, I'm not going to try to prove it -- just sit back and watch.
ETA that I was writing this as the post above was added. Some very good thoughts there.
