I think it's more that they reject information / knowledge / learning. That's why they're so prone to disinformation, grift, and conspiracy theories.

I’ve said for a while now that I’d love to see the demographics for Ground News users. Because I can almost guarantee that the vast majority are left-leaning. Because right-leaning people have zero interest in comparing news stories or getting different takes. They just want a single narrative, with their opinions for the week piped directly into their brain.

Exactly the takeaway. They do not value different sources corroborating a set of facts. They prefer a specific narrative. Which has been the feeling we've all had for years as it relates to Republicans. It's very interesting to see it in data.

I also reject the concept of any for-profit 24 hour news station. There isn't that much news and they need to hype up nonsense to keep attention and get advertising dollars.
