I have a lifetime friend (over 50 years) who still refuses to leave the corrupt media world he is in. I point him to proven facts about covid, the election, etc., and his standard response is "I have my sources of information, you have yours". I guess it will take some kind of forced statements from CNN and other "news" outlets, admitting their lies of the past 50 years, and recently ramped to a level so high you could step off onto the moon, to wake people like my friend up.

Effectively, yeah. Some just change the subject when it veers from a narrative they've already swallowed. Mostly what I notice is the knee jerk response to Unapproved Sources against whom they've been pre-poisoned by their Approved Sources. So, any information that doesn't come from the NYT, WAPO, New Yorker, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, etc. is already suspect at best and a source of "right wing lies" before it's ever read/seen.
