The vast majority of people don't check or verify anything. They just say "oh, it's on a news site so it must be true".

As long as the headline is what they want to hear it's all good..It used to mostly be a far right thing with all the radical radio guys on the AM dial.. Making ridiculous claims just to keep their listeners attention so they got good rating for the advertisers. Sadly, now with the internet and all these "blog news sites" like Huffpost, brietbart ect..ect it's now just about getting views for advertisers so they make ridiculous click bait titles so it's sure to get posted to the social media links..
