@SarahbaxterSTM – "journalists themselves felt under attack and were attacked … CNN is so hated by people who don't even watch it. It's just the enemy camp if you are in another media ecosystem."
@SarahbaxterSTM – "Trump supporters say they 'do their own research', which for me is a code for going down their own internet rabbit holes of conspiracy … people love to go down their own research 'boltholes'."
@benyt – "For viewers of fox news and viewers on the right, the media means us – the NYT, the Guardian, the mainstream – and for us it also means us, and we love to blame ourselves and beat our breasts, that we're so relevant and powerful that we caused this."
@benyt – "For me, I mainly blame Fox News … if you look at people who have been arrested in acts of terrorism around DC, Fox is just all over that story."
@SarahbaxterSTM – "the reality intrusion [of Fox News calling Arizona for Biden] led to a huge number of Fox viewers saying 'that's it, I'm off, I only watch Newsmax now'."
