I'm pretty sure that's the plan. I think there's even a name for it? Keep us so overloaded with fucked up news that we just zone out and let them carry on with their christo fascist nazi agenda.

'Flood the zone' it's called I think.

I've heard "firehose of falsehoods" but I think it's not the same, just a related tactic. Overall they are trying to keep the people who care news-weary, and it's working

"Firehose of Depressing News Stories" is my new phrase for this
