It shows how mis-informed people are who watch the most ideologically driven news outlet are. What's scarier, scientific studies are exposing more examples of ideology trumping fact.
Saying that correcting misinformation does little more than reinforce a false believe is a pretty controversial proposal, but the claim is based on a number of studies that examine the effect of political or ideological bias on fact correction. In the studies, volunteers were shown news items or political adverts that contained misinformation, followed by a correction.So even if you deny something, it can simply reinforce the opposite of the truth. America, the land of Sheeple.
