I have thought a bit about your comment, and right now I watch Fox News and the BBC on the internet, but for things of importance I believe Fox News - Mea Culpa.
My explanation, is that I have repeatedly found Fox News analysis to be more accurate that the BBC or other news outlets. For example, reading/listening to Fox News, I knew for a long time that the Mueller report was likely to be a dead duck because it had no evidence of collusion. They also pointed out the technical point that legal processes never exonerate anyone! When it turned out that Trump could not be impeached for 'collusion', that came as absolutely no surprise to me because I had read FN.
Furthermore, FN reported the various messages between Strzok and his girlfriend Page. Wiki tells us that "Strzok rose to become the Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division, the second-highest position in that division. ", but his messages to his Girlfriend included statements that "Trump will be stopped" (I haven't checked the exact wording). Do you think this was the kind of behaviour to expect of someone in that exalted position, who was tasked with investigating the President of the US? If you don't watch FN, I doubt if you know any of that. Maybe you also do not realise that the Attorney General is conducting an investigation into the origins of a dossier of evidence against Trump that initiated the calls for impeachment. As I understand it, news of this will be out soon, and will probably also come as a bombshell to anyone who relies on CNN or other outlets.
I honestly do not know how many facts Left-leaning Americans are aware of. Are you aware of significance of the company, "Fusion GPS", or of the relevance of the British spy, Christopher Steele ? Are you aware that Hillary Clinton was accused of pressurising a woman not to report her rape, because the person she accused was Bill Clinton? The existence of that accusation is a fact, but obviously since it never got tested in court, I can't say if it was true.) I never heard the BBC mention any of those, lest they make people understand the game that is being played in Washington.
Further back in time, I knew from Fox News that candidate Trump was covering such issues as pulling troops out of Syria and other places, I knew why he and those who voted for him hated "ObamaCare", and I came to realised what his repeated references to 'the swamp' were all about.
By contrast, the BBC paints a vague, disturbing picture of what is going on in the US, incorporating as few actual facts as possible!

IMO, this explains exactly why, what appears to be a pure act of desperation, what we are experiencing as the latest "coup attempt" procedure has arisen and parsimony often is accurate.
A "group" (quite a large one) knows what is about to come flooding out. The "FISA abuse" report soon to be followed up by Durham/Barr investigations reports/recommendations/and possible actions.
The reason for the faux impeachment is to try and prevent this tsunami from blowing apart the power structures of this group or to minimize the impact as much as possible. The last hope is that when its all fully out in the open, "the group" has enough "adherents" who will agree with their last stand on it all - that being "We knew we did bad, illegal... indeed ,'wrong things,' but geeeeeze folks, you see 'the monster' (not just Trump, but the blowing up of the Big Lie we have been living under) we were hoping to destroy and so surely you can understand we are the true 'good guys' and had to resort to every possible available means to save us all."
And if it were not for what I have been able to get via FOX News, I probably wouldn't have seen this. I certainly didn't want to. I was perfectly happy believing "the movie."
Thankfully also, there are some real honest folk out there that are what I had always envisioned to be "true journalists" and Catherine Herridge seems to be one and also, John Solomon seems to be one. I think Glenn Greenwald is an honest independent journalist. I could name several more.
