'Flood the zone' it's called I think.

I've heard "firehose of falsehoods" but I think it's not the same, just a related tactic. Overall they are trying to keep the people who care news-weary, and it's working

Let them? Sounds like you still think you are in charge.

I think the other poster is 100% correct and its about creating new insane news almost daily so people cant watch it anymore and they stop caring.
