This is such an important thing to note. The MAGA set aren’t completely oblivious. It’s the same issue with how they don’t trust “mainstream media,” the problem doesn’t lie in accepting that media must be viewed with skepticism and critical thinking, the problem lies with the critical thinking ending at "I can’t trust the mainstream media.

What the MAGAs are actually practicing is cynicism not skepticism. They have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Because they have realized some sources aren’t always entirely trustworthy, they stop trusting them entirely and instead listen to random jackholes on the internet. It’s actually an abdication of critical thinking. Just flat out rejection instead of reading with a critical eye and skeptical mind.
