The trick is they sneak in unusual real stories in with the balogna. I remember telling my grandparents that I couldn't believe they read that garbage. They showed me a strange incident in one article that had happened in the area that we knew was true. They said something to the effect "See! They do print real stuff". ::sighs::

My grandparents were very intelligent people (Grandfather ran two buisnesses for 50+ years), but sometimes they could be, well, blockheads.
