Americans are not invulnerable to factual information. They do not
'backfire'; facts do not make them less accurate. Instead, they
become more accurate, even when corrections target co-partisans.
Corrections of fake news yield similar results. Among Republicans,
Trump's misstatements are less susceptible to corrections than
identical misstatements attributed to other Republicans. While we
do not observe facts affecting attitudes, multiple instances of
misinformation can increase approval of the responsible politician
- but corrections can reduce approval by similar amounts. While
corrections do not eliminate false beliefs, they reduce the share
of inaccurate beliefs among subjects in this study nearly in half.
