Yep, and by broadcasting the same message from many sources they can create the illusion of consensus because of the ten news sources you see 8 of them agree, 1 goes insanely far past those 8, and 1 disagrees with the other 9. The fact that only one station disagrees with the rest and presents reasonable facts makes them sound like the outlier and seem likely wrong, while the insane version makes the 8 in the middle sound normal.
