67% of people wouldn’t say they believe Ford credible if the fake news presented the full story. But the bulk of the blame is on those to lazy to research information. It is online but it is so easy to watch the MSM and not use their reasoning.
I also think many people say the believe Ford credible to avoid being politically incorrect like they do with the violent “ religion of peace”. Say the wrong thing and get prosecuted or persecuted.
That is why Trump brought up Ford at a campaign rally. He knew the MSM would ridicule him and report what he said about Ford.
