At the same time all this is going on companies that strive to model what is actually occurring in the world and how control it are taking authoritarian regemes on as clients. (Eg. McKinsey )

We are modeling for them how they can do the most harm to us feeding us lies.

Totalizing cynicism about all sources of information is one of the desired endstates that the Russian foreign-facing propaganda program specifically attempts to encourage. It makes the message viewer easier to manipulate, rather than less, because they begin selecting passively and ideologically.

This.

See some people lose it when they realize: All media narratives are constructions. That's fine, poo poo still happened in the world and some of the narratives are much, much, better than others and closer to the poo poo that happened.

Cynicism leads to inaction, it itself is a way of manipulating populations by the rich and powerful.
