Nah, it would have to be the Fox News style full court press deception to have the intended effect.

Most people would be convinced something is true if a huge swathe of people they trust say it’s true. (Myself included. I just try my best to vet trustworthy sources to begin with.)

Fox News accomplishes this by getting you to distrust all other sources and then serve you a variety of “charismatic personalities” all parroting the same propaganda. This is how they cultivate false consensus.
