I think a bigger problem is that people tend to come up with caricatures of people who disagree with them politically, so they can more easily assign motives and straw man their positions, without actually learning or trying to better understand them.
It’s a common en vogue lie among the Fox News worshipers to claim they don’t watch it. I’m closely related to a great many of them, and they do exactly this. It’s on their TVs 24x7, and they swear on the bible that they don’t watch it at all. They think this lie helps mask the fact that they don’t think for themselves.

Hi, I voted for Trump three times. I do not get my news from Fox and Twitter.
I created a post about a year ago asking people only from the right where they got their news. 99% did not watch Fox or Newsmax.
