I think this headline is likely wrong. Political podcasts, for example, seem to be doing fairly well. It's just the shit the large news groups are putting out that people are running from. You can only fear monger and have 24/7 outrage for so long before people tune it out for their own sanity.

I put a hard pause on any news after the election. No reason feeding into any narrative until the turd takes office.
I know enough from the past few decades that voting for anyone in the right or center (e.g., corpo-dem) isn't an option. I don't want to spend 4 more years of hearing how Trump is getting the endangered species act or gutting the NLRB when there is shit I can do about it. Calling my deep blue legislators isn't going to do anything. So yeah, tuning out is the better strategy
French peoples are too.
If you are burnt out then perhaps don't read this, but for anyone who wants to know... https://theintercept.com/2024/12/18/trump-fisa-surveillance-spying/ - it doesn't seem to say much of anything though still it makes me worry. Clickbait? Obviously. Merely clickbait or not though I don't know.
