Instead they chose to listen to corrupted journalists, controlled by

Del replies:
The public DID listen - once Harry talked. The Quibbler's edition
containing Harry's interview sold fastest ever, and they even had to
print another batch IIRC.

People WERE willing to hear Harry out fully - it's Harry who wasn't
willing to talk. Seamus asked, Zacharias asked, but Harry refused to
talk. He demanded that they believe the fantastic and thoroughly
simplified version DD fed them.

There was NOTHING for people to hear out FULLY. People were FORCED to
take a decision based on a few unsupported and undetailed lines of
story. Forced by Harry. I can't blame them for going against Harry.
Honestly, if a teenager said tomorrow that he didn't kill another kid,
it's the aliens who did it, and no he's not going to tell more, well,
I wouldn't believe him either.

As for listening to corrupted journalists, I don't think most people
made the choice to listen to *corrupted* journalists. They didn't know
the journalists were corrupted.
