It’s not that readers are stupid, or even necessarily credulous: it’s that the news format is easy to imitate and some true stories are outlandish enough to beggar belief.
Imitating the news format is a violation of the principle of fair representation because information is being presented in one way but it is not accurate in comparison with reality. This also means that the principle of nonmaleficence is also being violated because the news are usually faked with a bad intention behind it.
