Blog Entry #2: Objective Summary of the reading "I Know the Truth"

In the article "I Know the Truth, So Don't Bother Me with Facts", author Jeffrey Klugger explains how people easily believe false statements. Klugger also indicates that researchers conducted a study to prove how people's opinion may be easily altered by just showing them pictures that are manipulative and distracting from the real facts and that people do not really take the time to do their own research and learn the truth behind the pictures. An opinion a person has regarding a specific idea might be distorted when this person is shown pictures that might not necessarily be a true fact or might suggest something completely different.
