So, the Republicans don’t trust Fox News?

There's probably some element of "I trust my media, but not the media as a whole" at play, similar to how approval ratings for congress as a whole is terrible, but approval ratings for each district's congressman is decent.
Center/right voter here. lol, no I do not trust Fox. But I surely do not trust the others, either.

I think the most important thing we can say to ourselves when reading news is to say “Why am I being told this?”

Conservative news outlets and podcasters have been very good at convincing their listeners that they are not “mainstream media”.

You will see Fox News and Joe Rogan referring to mass media as the other, bad news outlets.

Most non boomers don’t actually.
