i know the thruth, so don't bother me with facts

     The article i know the thruth but don't bother me with facts was talking about about how people belive in what they want based on what they see, heard,or read. even if the fact or the actual truth is been revealed to them. like in the case of aluminum foil hat,and the presidents birth place. the author also talked about how easy it is to manipulate people's belief systems with insinuating pictures or inflammatory quotes, like the controverse of building a 13-story islamic cultural center planned  at ground zero, which does not consist of only a mosque but other recrational and educational facilities. consequently a research was carried out in ohio state university where 750 people who reported being familiar and believing at least one of the rumors about the proposed center, and 28% rejected the rumors, while 35% acknowledged that there where some truth in the information after giving them full, written rebuttals of the rumors i.e (the facts).
    the world today is fill with many wrong information, and people beleave what ever they want to, base on where their form,what they grow up with and their religious belives, and no matter how you try to convince them, they ignore facts because they beleave its not true.
