Theory: Many Americans who say they hate the media... 1) Consume a lot of media 2) Really like a subset of it Therefore, approval rating of “the media” doesn’t have much value—unlike, say approval rating of the president—because respondents aren’t all talking about the same thing

Agree. Similarly, when we worry that e.g. 50% of Americans don't trust "the media" or "major news sources" much, we should remember that some of them are thinking, 'Well, I trust CNN, but certainly not Fox News.'

Exactly. Or vice-versa. For example, Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson have two of the most popular news media programs in the country. But if you ask their viewers what they think of "the media," many assume you're talking about someone else.
