They can turn on Fox or the radio and hear all the greatest hits all the time. They completely ignore all of info sources because their info source tells them that everyone else is lying to them.

I see it endlessly on Facebook. Offer an informative link and if it's not one of theirs it must not be true. I've stopped trying to discuss their mindless meme posts. These are what I thought were mostly reasonable people (lots from high school years) but they are so far gone it just isn't worth it.
