In this day & age I think it's completely understandable for folks, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum, to not be able to tune in to particular news stations, as they have become more polarizing than the parties themselves.
There's a difference between being annoyed by the constant political slant of the news - even if it is calling out the fat orange goblin for propagating highly dangerous rhetoric - and not trusting it for that reason.
