The media (newspapers, TV, radio or whatever) pretty much determines your party affiliation. My wife, a far better historian than I, tells me it has always been this way. Whether Hamilton versus Jefferson, or FDR versus Hoover, it seems always to have been a war between various media outlets.
Fox News -- Republican. MSNBC -- anti-Trump. Wall Street Journal -- leans to the right, but is as neutral as you'll find. PBS -- definitely to the left.
When I wake up in the morning, I turn on the TV and tune into Fox News to see what happened while I was sleeping. After a half hour of that (damn those long commercials) I turn on Squawk Box to see how the market is doing and whether it's on track to rise or fall. After that I go to MSNBC to see what crimes Trump committed while I was sleeping.
This morning. it was a Saturday, so no Squawk box. On Fox I got the latest statistics on the pandemic; namely, how many new cases reported and the latest death toll. And, then, on to the mayhem being carried out in various American cities. The destruction has been carried on for weeks. But why?
At MSNBC, it's all about the pandemic, and, how Trump has screwed up. All those lives lost because of him. As to the flaming American cities -- what flaming cities?
You want to know what's going on? Talk to a cop.
