They get their talking points directly from fake news sites like CNN and MSDNC. One I know brags about watching Fox News as proof that he listens to both sides of an issue.
Sounds like my brother- he boasts about being balanced and “open minded” by saying he watches Fox News, but always takes the liberal point of view.
My Dad watched ABC, NBC, and CBS because at the time they were the only networks he could watch. He didn’t have cable in his area.
He was a conservative, but he always voted democrat because of the one-sided reporting he watched.
