But accurate. I have in-laws who send me links which I point out to them are unreliable and incorrect, replying with multiple factual sources. Their response is to send me another lousy source. Some people prefer to live in an echo chamber because they're not interested in information and facts but simply in confirming their beliefs.

It's sad that people prefer to have their preconceived beliefs confirmed rather than learn the truth and let the chips fall where they may.

That was at least partially behind Faux Noise. In the Dominion suit they quoted memos from Faux management that they would lose audience if they reported the truth, so they lied. Lost audience == lower stock price.

She may think it's "boring", but she is also woefully misinformed due to her choice of outlets. But as long as those outlets retain viewers/readers, they don't care.
