It was posted on a blog, so it must be true, right??

Why do Americans continue to believe everything we read/hear no matter how far fetched it seems??

Anyone can post anything on a website and call it "news."

    Personally, I hate blogs. I think they are a stupid waste of Internet space. If you can't post fact-based opinion, then get off the 'Net.

    only idiots believe everything they read-otherwise we label it as rumour or gossip,americans who REALLY read the news only count on reliable sources such as bbc & cnn where news is properly verified and confirmed before presented.
