That one friend who believes every gossip site without question

I have this friend Sarah who I've known since college. Last month she sent me a link claiming a famous singer was secretly married for years. I found the original source in about 10 minutes and it was some random blog with zero proof from 2019. But she still insisted it was true because 'where there's smoke there's fire.' It drives me crazy how people will just accept anything that fits what they already think. Anyone else have a friend who refuses to look past the headline?

My buddy Mike shared a video about aliens at Area 51 and got mad when I pointed out it was from a comedy channel.

People believe whatever fits their world view, facts don't matter anymore lol.

Ngl @jason_stone59 that's rough but honestly I've seen a ton of those Area 51 clips floating around and like 3 out of 4 of them are clearly from a show called "The Joe Rogan Experience" or something similar where they do bits about aliens. The one I saw had this weird green glow effect that was way too clean for a real leak. People get defensive when you pop their bubble though, especially if they've already sent it to five other friends.
