The same reason why most people believe everything in the tabloids.
I dont usually believe in everything I read unless I see more than a dozen websites saying the same thing and I use references on how dependable a website is.

Because its on the internet, its out there for people to see and read about and some people trust others too much and will believe anything you tell them (sad but true) like check this quote from an online articule out, there are people that actually read this and think its true!

There has been a small outbreak of “zombism” in a small town near the border of Laos in North-Eastern Cambodia.
The culprit was discovered to be mosquitoes native to that region carrying a new strain of Malaria which thus far has a 100 percent mortality rate and kills victims in fewer than 2 days.
After death, this parasite is able to restart the heart of its victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believed to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.”
Cambodian officials say that the outbreak has been contained and the public has no need to worry.
General Ary Serey had this to say, "We have obtained samples of this new parasite and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all."
US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opposed the plan saying that the Cambodian government holds a great biological weapon and should destroy it immediately. Cambodian officials have yet to comment.
A United Nations team will be dispatched to Cambodia to confirm the safety of biological research in Cambodia.

People would rather read one article about an issue and believe everything it says that read multiple articles and decipher for themselves what the truth is. Studying is something that most people would rather not do, even if it does make you more aware.
