        According to the article "I know the Truth, So Don't Bother Me with the Facts" by Jeffrey Kluger states that people easily belief in fake statement. Kluger emphasizes that recently research points out two controversial ending one explained that it is not complicate to influence people changed their judgment through alter evidence, but the other one shows that some people were inclined to hold their opinion despite of the fact that they receive. I agree with the author that people can be convince by false statement.

      Rumors are statement that running between human being like water in a river, and sometime people belief on them without any prove of it. Kluger states that "people easily deceived by rumors and flat-out lies". In other words people get easy persuade by false comment. In my own experience I saw how a rumor can make people to be fool. Years ago my neighbor were a couple that they seem to have a strong relationship. She was a dedicate wife and lovely mother who took care of them without complaint. He was a men who feel a deep admiration for his wife and family. I remember a day when I was in my room and hear my parents talked about ours neighbor. My father was explaining to my mother that there was a gossip on the street referent to neighbor's wife. It said that on the of the boys was not of her husband. My father was a gentleman who respect others opinion and usually didn't put attention to gossip without any comment or judgment, but at this time he belief on this rumor.
       In addition rumors are conjecture that people spread around without enough information about its veracity. A recently incident that happened few days ago is a vanished flight 370 from Malaysia Airline with 239 people on board. There are a lot speculation of how this flight could have disappear without any explication. Some people belief that it was a hijack by terrorists or it was kidnapped by alien, but no one of this statement is true because it lacks of prove.
       In conclusion, statement that going from one person to another make people easy belief on them. Sometime they share those rumor like true statement based it just on fake information.
