Even for people paying attention, it's hard to follow all the spin and understand which organizations are pushing which ideas and why.

The US now has tens of millions of citizens that believe the election was stolen. I think they're mostly just "normal" people who have tuned out and now can't tell which way is up.

The reason I pay attention is because following news daily is actually less cognitive load than trying to catch up when a significant plot twist happens that might impact me.

I think this is a good take, most news doesn't directly affect you but is necessary context to make sense of the news that is relevant to your life
