The human brain doesn't seek logic, it seeks validation and a storyline to explain how you feel. It will whip up stories very easily, but even easier if they're supplied.
So this system has been exploited to the extreme. It's our largest vulnerability as a species, that someone can make us feel an emotion and then attach a story to it, and our brains will adhere to that story without question.
This is very true, they get thousands of clicks especially by playing on people's anger and fear.
