...which some people still believe true.

Hi,

The internet can't replace the television, which some people still believe true.
Is it correct without "to be" after 'believe'?

Or it should be as follows: 
The internet can't replace the television, which some people still believe is true.


Thanks.

The sentence is not functional, since the dependent clause contradicts the main clause. You will have to recast completely: Some people still believe that the internet cannot replace television.
