Adds up to me. News is a terrible medium for understanding a subject.
The other thing is most people seem more interested in confirmation of their existing position vs understanding alternatives.
So my guess is they consume news that aligns with this.
It's a step further than just confirmation of factual correctness. People love the narrative that it's just bad people who disagree with them.
The Team Good vs Team Bad outlook is a lot easier to get across if you misrepresent and strawman the opposing view.
Yep, that's right. I have friends all over the place politically and none of them are bad people. I view that mentality as very niave and immature.

The more news you consume, the less you actually understand about your political opponents.
