dumb people still had access to bullshit information prior to the internet. remember grocery store tabloids? papers with "Bat Boy" on them or how Jesus was constantly coming back, etc? I knew a couple adults that firmly believed and bought that shit.

Sure, but before the internet somebody had to actually print a magazine or a book etc. to spread it wider than word-of-mouth
