Damn! You just trashed another irony meter! Those things are expensive!
While there is some amount of what you describe on both sides, the right-wing is by far more problematic in this area. Just as an example, I recall a study (maybe 10 years ago?) where they compared groups that consumed different media, and no media. The FOX News viewers were less informed than the people that didn't watch any news at all. Which is just sad. Of course, at least some of those who don't watch any news at all instead read newspapers (my mother would have been in that category, reading the Arizona Republic every day...hardly a liberal publication). Which says that maybe we should all do that to be better informed.
And today, FOX is mild compared to some outlets. The folks at Newsmax or OANN probably regard FOX as commies.
