Abstract	We study the opinion dynamics of a generalized voter model in which N voters are additionally influenced by two opposing news sources whose effect is to promote political polarization. As the influence of these news sources is increased, the mean time to reach consensus scales nonuniversally as N^{α}. The parameter α quantifies the influence of the news sources and increases without bound as the news sources become increasingly influential. The time to reach a politically polarized state, in which roughly equal fractions of the populations are in each opinion state, is generally short, and the steady-state opinion distribution exhibits a transition from near consensus to a politically polarized state as a function of α.
