That is not news to me (see my post history). The information landscape in America is segmented, and works to keep the Big Picture out the frame. To quote myself:

  - No real journalism, instead, career in media house depend on commercial ownership. Narratives tailored to segment, but no deep and critical analysis. 

    - "Let us talk about the tariffs today, they make zero economic sense" 
    - "I think what he meant is..." 
    - "Of course this is not entirely correct, but..." 
    - "President Trump has said.."
    - "Rubio did a press conference today"

    - Only drama, never the Big Picture.

    - Elections? According to the press, those are just
       - The latest polls!
       - Repeat marketing from spin doctors at affiliated media houses
       - "Debate" = Reality TV, scores are given on wit and emotional play

As an English speaker, you have one option and that is to read The Guardian.
