Verify Facts

It is important to recognize the difference between real data and data that is pretty much inaccurate. We are flooded with so much information but we rarely take the time to fact check and make sure that the information is correct. This can be very detrimental to us as we base our decisions on slanted information. This chapter has really encouraged me to think twice about statistics that are thrown at me particularly in political messages. Much of propaganda seeks to connect facts that are not in reality connected and this is another way that the public gets deceived.
