Wonderful job -- thank you very much!

I think it's clear that Republicans are generally ill-served and ill-informed by their new sources.

But so are Democrats.

There is at least one area in which Republicans are generally wiser than Democrats. As shown in your final graphic, Republicans place far less trust in mainstream media than do Democrats. They are correct to do so: Democrats should be far more skeptical.

There is a Wikipedia page ("List of controversies involving The New York Times") that summarizes some of the reasons one should distrust the MSM. It mentions the Iraq war and the anti-Sanders bias of the 2016 election. But it doesn't mention that the NYT is a warmongering publication: the NYT is virtually always on the side of US starting or entering wars. The page also (very surprisingly) doesn't mention its significant anti-Assange and anti-Wikileaks bias. Its discussion of corporate bias is terribly inadequate.

I did learn (and was shocked when I did, even given my deep skepticism of the MSM) to learn of its profound anti-Semitism -- even when its publisher was Jewish. For example, "Between 1939 and 1945, the Times published more than 23,000 front-page stories - a half of which were about World War II - and only 26 were about the Holocaust."

The NYT does a great job of presenting the perspective of Democratic Party "centrists." More accurately, it does a great job of shaping those views.

Republicans see MSM manipulation clearly: Democrats are blind to it.

Republicans and Democrats alike suffer from misplaced trust in their preferred news sources.
