• Answer:

  You really should worry that people see this and think it's real because THAT is the kind of thing that nurtures what's evil in people and leads to actual real life laws, legislature, etc Two examples: Birthers - people who insist that there's some question about President Obama's birth certificate, implying that he isn't really the president because he isn't really American. SENATORS and CONGRESSMEN have come forth as supporting this conspiracy theory. They say that the one he's presented is fake, and that this "lack of evidence" is proof. That is the same thing as guilty until proven innocent. Shysters - people like Peter Popoff, John Edwards, Sylvia Browne, and others who prey on those who have lost loved ones and have serious afflictions, insisting that their "amazing powers" will let them speak to the dead, find out if their kidnapped sons are still alive, and cure their cancer. The victims of these scams pay HUNDREDS of dollars these people, even after having been publicly debunked on CNN. Now if people really ARE this naive, then seeing shows like Steve Wilkos will probably only fuel that perspective that suspicion IS in fact enough to jail or hang someone. The mentality of past generations still rings true in the minds and hearts of many: "If it's on TV then it must be true"
