Correct

I've always thought it's obvious that faux news & such have done more to create the huge division between the parties and the absolute inability to talk between them.

Someone had to creat this atmosphere of hate and derision, it did not appear out of the ether fully formed, it had to be taught.

The sick part is that there were such willing pupils, the message of hate was designed to find those and tailored to boost those thoughts, disgusting in the extreme.

I have tried to watch faux news a few times over the years to see what the carefully created message is.

But as soon as I see the robots spewing crap I change the channel, I just can't do it, I feel unclean trying.
