Maybe I’ve overlooked analysis on this, but it seems like media commentators and the center-left press are missing something critical about the revelations of Fox News’s duplicity, which is that a ton (most, I suspect) of GOP viewers already believe that this is how all mainstream media works.
They already believe that all big media orgs intentionally distort the truth. Nearly half of Republican viewers don’t even trust the Weather Channel.

@kissane I always look for the Trump voter with the wet hair and realize that level of distrust exists. When the rest of us bring umbrellas...

@toxtethogrady @kissane what’s showing up on a poll is their resentment of Weather Channel feature programs frequently mentioning climate change. “How to Survive Extreme Flash Floods! … which will be a growing danger in this age of increasing dangerous storms from a warming globe. Scientists predict that by 2040…” etc. Their lineup has a lot more than just the regular forecast.
(I dated a guy who watched a lot of WC shows for fun.)

@AmberWavesofFlame @toxtethogrady My point is that it's the most-trusted non-partisan channel for GOP viewers and it's at about 50%.
