Fake News is allegedly believed as much by those who are educated as it is by those who are not. How can that be?

I was stunned SH. I really thought there would be a definite difference in who believes what tied to degree of education. It just ain't so. Thank you for your reply! :)

There isn't within religion, why should it differ to politics. It's very much also about belief systems. Hmm.

The difference is politics is supposed to be based on PROVABLE FACTS. Religion is based on BELIEF without proof! That what faith is all about. You believe that which cannot be proven. Thank you for your reply.

As for facts ad politics, it all depends on which school you believe in. That is part of the bigger mess. 

True. But so is our willingness to believe crap/bullsh**/ bogus conspiracy theories. Go figger! Thank you for your reply whistle! :)

When I read that I was shocked. The ability to differentiate between real and fake is not connected to degree of education which means you can fool anyone at any time about anything! :( Thank you for your reply Glis! :)

I'm not.   Anyone who is a political or news junkie is going to believe some fake news at some point.  It's inevitable.

It is sobering. Thank you for your reply Glis.
