I find it quite scary how easily people are influence/manipulated, especially in the age of the internet. It has never been easier to make sensationalist, misleading headlines without anything to back them up. Many people will only read the headline. The human mind is so easily manipulated and over time, makes up information and remembers it as fact (see confabulation-https://youarenotsosmart.com/2012/05/30/yanss-podcast-episode-three/ https://youarenotsosmart.com/2012/05/30/yanss-podcast-episod...). Who knows how much Brexit, Trump, etc are due to such manipulation?
