So a lawyer for one of the Jan 6th rioters is using this as a defense:

-Anthony Antonio, of Clayton, Delaware, watched Fox News for six months prior to the Capitol riot, the attorney said during a multi-defendant hearing on Thursday related to the Capitol siege.
The attorney said his client started "believing what was being fed to him" by the news outlet and former President Donald Trump-
I can't see this defense working but it's really interesting that they'd even attempt it.
