It depends on if it talks about gossip, dietary choices or politics.

If the tweet or whatever is from someone involved in present day politics, you best know itts true because imo politics are crazy this term.

Gossip, probably found on a teenagers instagram, you know it but most people dont care

Dietary DO NOT TRUST THEY ARE SCAMS!!!

This is a hard question to quantify. I suspect so. No one bothers to check facts. It is much easier to check what is written.

I'm currently in need of checking out health care claims made by alternate medicine. For the fifth time, I have checked the math of their claims and found what sounds like a scientific study to contain faulty math and the math was not much more complicated than %s.

What does that mean? It means that the  paper was not peer read. (Other people in the same field didn't read it). Now let me ask you a question. If a product made claims about what it sold and it used faulty stats, would you buy the product? And yet these people do millions of dollars worth of sales a year. Someone must believe them.

Do you believe the news delivered by Fox or CNN. I live in Canada. 2 years ago we were in the states and someone shot up our house of commons and the grounds killing at least 2 people. It made a huge story for CNN: they claimed that it was a terrorist attack. They kept the story going for hours. It was their number one headline that day. It turns out that one of the people killed was a security guard (unarmed in Canada he is employed to keep dogs off the grass). I tried to tell the people we were staying with that was a bogus story. They thought it was real. The next day the truth came out. CNN made no mention of the real story. They just moved on.

Yes many people believe what they are told or they read. Seems the power of the written word has not lessened, and people do not want to check the facts. There are just too many facts to check.

Summary of the battleground shift
mel-nik [20]
<span>ohn Renshaw has just returned from Florida where he assassinated the president of a toy company. Renshaw picks up a package on his way to his apartment and carefully opens it once alone. The package is from the same toy company his victim owned and contains a set of toy soldiers, complete with tanks, helicopters, and missiles. The package begins to move on its own and releases its contents, which are animated. Suddenly Renshaw realizes he is under attack by tiny soldiers. The bullets they are firing are minuscule, but draw blood just the same. Renshaw cannot believe what is happening at first, but then begins to fight the soldiers. Renshaw cannot stop them all at once, so he is forced to seek refuge in the bathroom.</span>
