Beyonce having an opinion on gas pipelines in Europe is absolutely priceless!😆
But the fact that some people trust even stuff like that without doing the most obvious fact checking, like looking up the quote and the name of whom it's being attributed to, is troubling.
I do it all the time — and when only some shady blogs comes up, I don't trust it — I find it hard to believe that some celebrity could make an opinionated statement and it didn't make it into any mainstream media at all.
