Do we take everything presented as fact to be true? Below are six "facts" and their sources.

1. Most Americans believe that the earth is round (pure speculation).

2. Almost half of all Americans believe in ghosts (Harris Poll online panel).

3. Support for Israel is strongest among white evangelical Christians (Pew Research – traditional random digit dial phone).

4. The Senate race in Colorado between Udall and Gardner is neck and neck (YouGov online panel).

5. The average commute time in the U.S. is just over 25 minutes (U.S. Census).

6. Katie Perry is America’s most popular celebrity (Twitter metrics).
