Some of it is "too brainwashed".  There's another corporation, Sinclair,
that AIUI is even more right-wing than Fox.  They own a bunch of local
television stations.

And then there's the people who get all their news from social media,
whose algorithms re-inforce their bubble.

I try to mix it up, but there are "news" sources I just won't look at.
Infowars, OAN, stuff like that.

I find that the right-wingers here and on alt.home.repair provide
a fascinating look into the Zeitgeist.
