Where is the evidence to prove that the latest shootings in Colorado Springs did in fact happen at a Planned Parenthood?

Disclaimer: I did not click the link in the OP.

As sad as it is to say, if your friend thinks absolutely all news organizations are lying including Fox, then they won’t believe any source you present to them.

True. I used the Denver Post. His source was Liberty Unyielding.

Police report.

I’m pretty sure I know whom you mean, @dammitjanetfromvegas, and this person can’t be convinced.
That’s OK, they’ll be off to Mars soon, according to some posts.

@canidmajor I’m afraid to say it is someone else. Maybe I should suggest they become friends?

Oh, dear.

I found the Colorado Springs police blotter. How can that be denied? I know, he’ll find a way to deny it.

There are also people who think the shootings in Newtown didn’t happen, either. Sad to say, there are conspiracy theorists about everything, and “faux news” stories can be written and posted very easily now, with the internet.

@jca That’s without getting into the “entertainment” sites that make a living doing satire that, sadly, is no longer more far-fetched than the truth. Between satirists and the outlandish things that actually happened, it’s not uncommon for people to take a joke or an op-ed piece and treat it as an actual, accurate news report.

Far-right sites are almost completely op-ed rather than actual news while conspiracy sites are just totally “out there”, and there is a dismaying amount of overlap between the two. Yet they wouldn’t even exist if there were not a demand for that sort of thing. Demand from people seeking confirmation while dismissing any and all evidence contrary to their preconceived beliefs. People that just can’t be reasoned with. And given how much of that stuff is out there, one can infer that there are plenty of people just eating it right up; you can’t have that much supply without great demand.

So the original question should be preceded by, “How can I get my friend to stop drinking the Kool-aid?”, because until that gets answered, there is no chance of altering their opinion with things like facts. In fact, I suspect an actual allergy to facts, so you may want to bite your tongue and just smile and nod to reduce the risk of sending them into anaphylactic shock. Nothing on the internet is worth having a heart attack over!
