My mother and my grandmother, that's whom. Realistically, they believe whatever they want to believe in spite of any evidence or lack thereof. If they don't like what the news media says, then it's all a conspiracy of lies, nothing in the news is true. If they like what the news media says, then "they wouldn't be allowed to say it on TV if it weren't true". I have given up on them both.
