Jeffrey Kluger, author of “I know the truth, so don’t bother with lies”, presents the situation of how humans tend to easily believe rumors and flat out lies. Mr. Kluger shows a real life example of a Mosque planned to be constructed in downtown (ground zero) which brought along a huge scandal and turned into a problem caused by fabrication of gossip. The human reaction of accepting misleading information despite the real facts, are augmented by Kluger, with evidence from Ohio State University research and other studies, they all conclude proving the human weakness of ignoring the truth and falling under, lets say, in some type of group pressure mentality.
