What I find surprising is that so many people (i.e. you) still claim to fact check everything. You don't. I guarantee it.

Most people don't read news for a living. You can't fact check everything you read online. That's physically impossible. And if you'd be honest to yourself, 95% of headlines you read are just noise and you don't read any further. Not because you're too stupid, but because you're not that interested in Trump's latest shenanigans or Italy's economic outlook.

You didn't even read my entire comment...

Read it entirely and you will see that this aggressive tone wasn't necessary or justified.
