    I think one of the scariest parts here is how only one news source cracked 50% for Republicans. That indicates a rejection of the concept of news

      Exactly the takeaway. They do not value different sources corroborating a set of facts. They prefer a specific narrative. Which has been the feeling we’ve all had for years as it relates to Republicans. It’s very interesting to see it in data.

      I also reject the concept of any for-profit 24 hour news station. There isn’t that much news and they need to hype up nonsense to keep attention and get advertising dollars.

      I think it’s more that they reject information / knowledge / learning. That’s why they’re so prone to disinformation, grift, and conspiracy theories.

        They accuse all of the other sources of media of being leftist. They reject any narrative that puts their ideology in a bad light. Their politicians have been pushing them away from news sources that they deem “leftist”. They’ve been entirely brainwashed by centralized messaging from a handful of sources yet accuse the left of being the brainwashed ones. It’s wild.
