This clip by Eddie Murphy answers your question. Substitute the cheating man for the government and the gullible woman for your average person who refused to believe the worst about it:

It doesn't matter how much evidence you show people. It doesn't matter that Wikileaks just proved our tax dollars went to fund the rape of little boys in Afghanistan. Some folks will still believe the government when they say "It wasn't me".

Because the thought that the government is not benevolent is WAAAAY too scary for most people to handle, so they block it out.

Exactly, but the difficult thing is that most of them don't even realize this is why they are unable to see the truth. It's frustrating, but, we got to have empathy for these folks because we were all there once ourselves.

Because they are the authorities... and they can make websites that look genuine.

Official unemployment numbers for February 2011 ... 8.9% ... happy... happy... joy... joy.

That need was supposed to be handled through belief in benevolent God .. but I digress :)
