O.P. RE: Newssites, news, rumors, (mis)information, etc... etc...
well, I was actually talking about newssites, not about (bad) april fool's jokes or chainletters, that's something different and beside my point... But these are indeed examples of how people will believe anything...
My rant was about that posters at newssites should be reconsider/reread their articles before posting them to make sure nothing can be put out of context, that the info is CORRECT, etc... and if they are spreading not-confirmed newsitems (like Messenger 6.2) that they make it VERY CLEAR that all the "news" is just speculation and isn't confirmed! And if it is possible, that they update their articles if things seem to be not true, or more info is available (or post updates, that's always possible)...
I was also talking about the "war" between newssites to get the biggest and fastest headline, despite the lack of CORRECT information....
