That seems reasonable. I figure what one might miss when not watching this three very much not excellent news networks is how people got quite so polarized and radical. Barring few exceptions, these networks (maybe CNN not quite that much) thrive for stirring up controversy and handing out partisan talking points - with massive spins and distortions on all sides, in FOX's case also with deliberate misinformation and outright lies.

But sure, it's different for me as a foreigner trying to get a grip on how certain things are even possible, how a country full of sophisticated people can have such a dumbed down, primitive and hostile political discourse over everything. These networks are quite defining for that state of affairs, I would assume, that's why they spark my interest.
