Liberals will watch RW talking heads but not the other way around. TDS is basically a show for liberals to watch Fox News highlights and laugh.

Democrats "trust the media" almost twice as much as Republicans do. And Americans are 3x more likely to complain about perceived liberal bias in media than about conservative bias.
