Area 51 storm: Proof Americans don't trust the govt
"It started as a joke, but the meme-driven frenzy to storm Area 51 has roots in a serious problem: About two-thirds of Americans believe their government intentionally withholds information that it could safely release.

Skepticism about the U.S. government's willingness to tell the truth explains not only why some people believe the government is hiding evidence of aliens at the remote Nevada military base known as Area 51, but also why some people don't trust the government to be truthful about vaccines or climate change." - Jennifer Graham, Deseret News To read the full article, click here.
