Fact-checking changes minds but not votes, according to new research – Poynter
my notes ( ? )
Regardless of partisan preference, belief in Trump falsehoods fell after these were corrected ... research found no evidence of a "backfire effect," i.e. an increase in inaccurate beliefs post-correction... [but] Trump supporters were just as likely to vote for their candidate after being exposed to his inaccuracies....
"If the original information came from Donald Trump, after an explanation participants were less able to accurately label what was fact or fiction ..." an attack on logic as much as on facts...
fact-checking can change people's beliefs, with the caveat that partisanship has an adverse effect of the strength of this change.
