Some of it is "too brainwashed".  There's another corporation, Sinclair,

television stations.

 Lovely.
 

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

I'm left wing but, for practical reasons, I see more right wing Dutch

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

 I don't know those, but I agree that not every news source is worth
any attention.

 Yes, it helps me understand how they can vote for an asshole like
Trump and then, in many cases, call themselves Christians.
 

Then you just don't understand christians, Master. They have always been "two faced". You need to study their history. Sometimes there was treachery, sometimes shameful acts. Always Glib liars seeking control of as many people as possible.  ... and, of course, tithes.
Nothing has changed in thousands of years.
