A good start is holding places like Fox News financially accountable for their straight lies. They are the media group with the largest amount of disinformation and most ill-informed voters.
The Dominion lawsuit caused a dramatic shift in their coverage. If you consistently did this they would be forced back towards reality.
Yale published a whitepaper indicating if you show Fox News viewers something else (even something as middling as CNN), their opinions do actively change over time. So they may not be brainwashed forever.

To test this argument, we used data on actual TV viewership to recruit a sample of regular Fox News viewers and incentivized a randomized treatment group to watch CNN instead for a month. Contrary to predictions from motivated reasoning, watching CNN caused substantial learning and moderated participants’ attitudes in covered domains. We close by discussing challenges partisan media may pose for democracy.
