Yes, it's not something that accidentally happens to ingest that much bullshit and take it at face value. There are other TV channels, websites, and people to talk to. By the time you're storming the US capitol building, you have made several intentional choices that put you in that position.

"Accidentally" is exactly how ingesting misinformation happens.

It’s their own fault for not fact-checking.

If you take everything at face-value, you’re either willfully ignorant or just plain stupid.
