Why are you laughing? This site gets displayed on the Drudge Report several times a month. In fact, I just checked and this story is there now in the left column:

Millions of people read the site monthly.

That is a negative indicator for its reliability.

Yes, partisan propaganda masquerading as news is a thing that has been a problem.for human society for a long time, and for the internet nearly as long as it has been widely used, and Drudge is a well-known and powerful example of that.

I'm not sure why that matters; can you explain?

Assuming you are laughing at this article because you think it's bogus, I believe melling is asking why you are laughing if millions of people are being exposed to misleading information. That's not what most would consider a laughing matter.

Ah. Ultimately, unfortunately, to me it ultimately is. Not the "Haha that's hilarious, he slipped on a banana!" kind, of course.

But the pathetic lack of scientific education/knowledge in the general US population is laughable.
