Tabloids owe Hillary. [View all]

I had this campaign going against the National Enquired because they ran all the bogus headlines saying Hillary was a space alien, etc. I was hiding their papers from view by turning them backward or covering them with another magazine.

But now it's some rag called the Globe. Today the headline is HILLARY FLEES COUNTRY TO ESCAPE JAIL!

The reason I find this interesting is because it indicates a certain fraction of the population will believe anything, absolutely anything. This is why the pedophile pizzeria story got traction. I'm curious as to what fraction of the population will believe anything. I don't know of any studies, but I know about five percent believe they were abducted by aliens.

Any guesses?
