Absolutely! I grew up in a lefty household where NPR was on all day (I mean ALL DAY) and my parents can't shake their belief in the media. They are smart people, I just think following leftist news outlets and "learning the facts" is now part of their ego-ideal. My Dad has started to go a bit rogue and will dip into Quillete (not as edgy as they used to be) and Jordan Peterson but at the end of the day, he still subscribes to and believes in The New York Times.
My mom has TOTAL TDS though and is just terrified of COVID. Very sad.
He's seen them. He has cognitive dissonance. He understands when the Times is being unreasonable about some things (things he likes and already accepts like Peterson) but cannot IMAGINE them being unreasonable about election fraud.
