I have a new hobby. I bicker with Trump fans on a Fox News website. (Why do I do it? I am fortunate to be represented in Congress by two excellent Senators and one fine Representative, so I have some extra energy to burn off. No, I don't expect to change minds. But I do hope that some of my comments show up in the news feeds of these Trump fans and that their friends, relatives, and neighbors will judge them for their deficiencies in thinking.)
So, I can answer your question. I'm not sure I would call it "widespread" but I often see dissatisfaction with Fox News among Trump supporters. For example, just now I saw: "I stopped watching him..he is so biased..as is most of Fox now...OAN isthe best." Comments like that one always show up whenever a Fox News host says something that implies that Trump isn't perfect. Chris Wallace is probably the major target, but there are also comments about other on air talent (e.g., Juan Williams), Murdochs turning liberal, and changes attributable to Paul Ryan being on the board. I've never seen OAN, so I appreciate your posting the Oliver clip.
