I would suggest that this mentality is part of the reason "fake news" is such a problem these days, though. For some reason people aren't able to say "that's fake - let's move on." They say, "that's fake, but now let's have a discussion about it because it COULD be real." Then the next time something related is posted, people are less likely to view it as fake because they've now anchored on it being a reasonable topic of discussion. (See most online political discussions for the past 20 years.)
