If you only get two sources of news, it probably seems like there are only two sides of the issue, if that's what you mean.
But it should be really obvious by the primary races in the U.S., if nothing else, that there's more going on than that. Ideally I would catch some perspectives from at least a news source sympathetic to each.
It's pretty apparent to me that there are giant shortfalls here given how surprising the Trump candidacy in particular has been. Lots of stories guessing what Trump voters actually do and think as if they're writing xenoantropology pieces or something. I say that as someone who doesn't really understand his appeal, to be clear.
