The whole world could agree with you and you could be wrong. No one could agree with you and you could be right.
Truth is not a numbers game and doesn't depend on consensus. The only time consensus matters is when people are equally well-informed of the facts of a matter, rather than just the PR spin, and that rarely is the case.
Too often it's people repeating one another that makes it seem than one particular perspective must be the right one, because it's so popular.
One untrustworthy source can be behind everyone's false belief. Watch "Soaked in Bleach" about Kurt Cobain's death if you want to know exactly that that works.
It happened by one person feeding BS stories to the media, which the media repeated ad nauseam, without fact checking. None of which was found to be true when investigative journalists looked into the case and found what the facts were and where the lies began.
