Why do conservatives only believe in news that they want to believe?

A couple days ago, someone posted a "question" asserting that Fox News didn't report at all on a particular mass shooting. I quickly found and answered with a video of Fox News reporting on it. Leftist answerers didn't even acknowledge it. All of them assumed it was true.

Cuz fake news have been all the rage ever since Trump ran for office.

For the last 40 years the conservative media has indoctrinated rightists with propaganda and fake news. I don't think those media moguls realized how effective their disinformation campaigns would be, and now the world is paying the price.

Don't forget. The Unemployment numbers were fake until Trump became President and then magically they all became real.

At their cores, conservatives are people who want easy answers.

Believing is easy. Learning is hard. People like the path of least resistance.
