Just how much total bullshit is on the Internet? [View all]

ABC news had a segment about how people went to two web sites mostly, to get information about the zika virus.

The first one was the CDC, which had accurate information.

The one visited more often was "Natural News," which posted conspiracy theories about how zika was a "hoax."
Figures.

Just look at all the total shit, satire and obvious hoaxes people get suckered into.
