Sadly, people still are not getting it:

The Internet ranks behind only television as the leading source for science news and information, but most users won't trust what they read online blindly, a new study finds. The Pew Internet and American Life Project said in a report Monday that 20 per cent of Americans obtain most of their science information from the Internet, compared with 41 per cent who cited television. Newspapers and magazines were each credited by 14 per cent, and radio by 4 per cent...About 80 per cent of those who get science information online try to check its accuracy elsewhere — another online source, offline resources or the original study — and many of them use more than one alternative.

That is terrible news. People do not trust the Internet enough. There really needs to be an Internet Marketing Board ad campaign about releasing oneself to trusting blindly. Suspending disbelief is not a bad thing - it's the basis of all Christmas season movies and much of conservative politics. Who would be the spokesman? Ed Grimley?
