How facts backfire

People not checking the facts is what gets them into trouble at times....ie Jim Jones followers, Hitler followers, and the list could go on and on. Education is a good thing, the more you know, the more informed you are, the less inclined you may become to being sucked into the BS and maybe, just maybe, the more inclined you are to do some research of your own.
I'm not saying this is the solution but it can be a beginning to one.
ETA: the old saying Ignorance is a bliss..........ISN"T.
