Political Misinformation

This Washington Post piece profiles the research by three political scientists, John Bullock, Brendan Nyhan, and Jason Reifler. Their research finds that the effects of political misinformation are difficult to correct and that the correction may even accentuate the effects of that information.

I previously posted on Bullock’s research here. A paper is here. Nyhan and Reifler’s paper is here.
