Yesterday an article was posted on steemit that advanced the idea the Russian diplomat to Turkey was not really shot. The autrhor to the post was so naive that he or she felt that the incident was fake cause it did not "look real like the movies" and because they did not think the body fell the right way.

if you read the author's orignal post and replies. It becomes very clear they know nothing about shooting, how bullets impact flesh or what happens when terminal energy is transfered from one mass to another mass.

None the less this article proclaiming fake news by someone who has no knowledge what so ever about that which they speak recieved a lot of consensus and upvoting .

The bottom line is that false information can obtain a consensus, and what is more important to remember , is that just because informaiton has consensus does not mean it is true.

Remember the old maxim .. Trust but verify most of the population believed the world was flat for long time after it was proven not to be the case.
