According to the article “ I know the Truth , so Don’t Bother Me with Facts”, the author Jeffrey Kluger wants to show how Humans are easily deceived by rumors and lies. Also, researchers shows that people get stick on false beliefs and it is hard to make them to forgot it or change their minds. A recently study with 750 people who believe at least in one rumor, did these people expose the rumor and what would make them change their minds. As a result, the assistant professors of communication (Garret and Nisbet) came to a conclusion that it is easy to manipulate people’s beliefs and a fewer were willing to reverse their positions. Garret also shows, that some people refuse to change their minds even if they see documents that prove the opposite, people respond by sticking to their prejudices even more strongly. The Professors are still studying to find a better explanation for that behavior .
