But how do you explain how someone 'buys into it'? Why does someone who didn't previously believe that no planes hit WTC watch September Clues and suddenly starts thinking that's what happened? Why doesn't everyone disregard it as nonsense?

Some swedes made a mockumentary a few years ago. They aired as a normal documentary, without telling anyone it was nonsense. The claim made was that the football world cup hosted by sweden didn't happen - it was just a hoax fabricated by various powers. After watching it, a hefty amount of swedes actually believed it. How is that possible?
