"Stunning"? Hardly — it's always been known by everyone, on both sides

MSNBC host Jen Psaki makes stunning admission about liberal network’s coverage of Trump
MSNBC host Jen Psaki admitted Tuesday that her cable news network’s liberal-leaning audience only tunes in to watch coverage of President Trump that is “typically not going to be positive.”
Viewers of the embattled network don’t expect to hear favorable news coverage or commentary about the commander-in-chief, Psaki, the onetime press secretary for President Joe Biden, revealed during an appearance on “The Grill Room” podcast.
“There’s obviously a rooted value in the kind of … that MSNBC viewers expect of like we’re going to talk about the opposition, and we’re going to talk about what the opposing party is up to, in terms of the Democrats, and we’re going to talk about future leaders and things,” she told Dylan Byers.
“And we’re also going to talk about Trump, and it’s typically not going to be positive. I don’t think anybody watching expects it to be positive, right? There’s not like a North Star thing written on a card, and everybody does it slightly differently, but I think that’s fairly the vibe.”
What’s unfortunate, and what’s caused the unbridgeable chasm between left and right is that all of the “reporting” they read and watch is slanted this way: all negative, all the time, blended with outright lies designed to frighten them” “they’re cutting my VA benefits!”; “Social Security is ending!”, ad nauseum.
But Psaki’s right: her people expect this, want this, and will listen to nothing that contradicts it.
