It's kind of like the difference between reading magazines at the supermarket checkout and going to a fortune teller. Both are going to have misinformation, but people are going to weigh that misinformation differently. You can have a sign outside of a fortune teller's that says "this is a novelty and is purely for amusement" and people are still going to believe the fortune teller can see the future, and likewise, you can have a magazine that says something about a "half man half bat" and people will still lend credence to it because hey, the supermarket is selling it, there must be some validity to it. We are remarkably good at ignoring warning labels and accepting misinformation if it sounds right or agrees with our existing biases, and I think if you're someone who accepts the half man half bat you're someone who's going to give even more weight to a fortune teller regardless of how many signs say "ignore the fortune teller."
