You can ignore it but the problem is a lot of people put a lot of weight into these stories and if you do manage to discredit a story there are 10 more ready to take its place. This is a problem that seems to affect people all across the intelligence spectrum. I think as a society we need to focus on our commonalities rather than our differences and become skeptical of stories on the Internet. Specifically stories that try and magnify our differences.
In my experience - people want to be outraged. Finding common ground is the opposite of what some want. There's a reason things like Fox News dominate ratings; people don't want facts - they want to be angry.
