No. They do not believe their own lies just like the democrats don't believe their own lies. The media are paid actors owned by the same globalists that own the democrats and rinos. These people know they are lying and we shouldn't disregard that. For example, CNN, NYT, WaPo, NBC all believe that we are in the middle of the worst pandemic that will kill anyone it touches yet they don't wear masks unless the cameras are on....right.
