Zero reinforcement. I had flirted with historical material that wasn’t flattering to the church narrative throughout my youth and into adulthood. I was at BYU where they teach Sunday School and give you college credit (Disney Dollars version, to be sure)!
But being out of that with my head down just trying to finish a few college courses and make ends meet with a kid at home made me go, “Maybe this isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.” And that’s all it took. Maybe it’s not true. What would I do if it wasn’t true? Would I stay here and pretend just in case I could capture the magic again?
My family was back in my home state on a completely different trajectory within 2 months.
Probably because the Dominion defamation case has News Corp worried. >

Good.  I pray it cripples them. >

I don’t think that’s a given. Programming and brainwashing are not transferable. Look at OAN and Newsmax struggling to gain an audience.
A personal anecdote to drive home the point:
I was raised Mormon. Left on a mission to Japan. Went to BYU. Married young. Had a kid. Still went to church and was dreaming about growing old in the church. I was a smart kid that loved science and math, and I was good enough to have a full ride at one point, but I was committed to the church too. I reconciled it as I went, and my faith seemed unshakable.
Then post partum hit my spouse, and I took a 6 month vacation to help parent the newborn so we could try to finish school without the stress of church volunteering. When I returned to church, everything my was different. I didn’t agree as fervently. I couldn’t relate nearly as easily. It was like the spell was broken.
If Fox is taken down, the largest part of the infrastructure and ecosystem of right wrong propaganda dies with it.
We can only hope. >
